U.S. Customs
So, I get up to a book warehouse in Ontario, Canada today. No problem getting into Canada, got the books on board and headed back to the border. Yep I got all my forms filled out and filed. What could go wrong?
Well somebody at the brokers office could reverse two letters on the trucks license plate. Three hours later I left the border office with the full knowledge that during the time those inspectors spent “solving” that problem a couple hundred “farm workers” slipped across the southern border. But the country is safe from trucks with PR instead of RP on the plate.
Oh, and in all the fuss over the plate, they forgot to run the truck through the scanner. That didn’t dawn on me until I got down to Eire PA. and I not going back.
We may all be blown up someday, but at least we are safe from typo’s.
