Ok, pardon the tardiness and lack of the time still being friday, but here it goes: In WWII my uncle lived in Windsor, ON and had numerous family and friends in the states. His family owned a butcher shop just north of Chatham. Once he decided to try to bring a side of bacon to his friends in the states even though US Customs forbids the import. To sneak it across the border he went through the tunnel (a lot more relaxed customs agents there) with the bacon strapped under the hood of his '40 Mercury. What he didn't expect was the accident at the outlet of the tunnel blocking traffic for over an hour. Needless to say the bacon was fully cooked by the time he reached US customs. No, the bacon never left the customs shack. Unemployed Bum |
