The Lovely Mrs. byoolin's trebuchet and I took a little trip to Canada earlier this week. We entered and left at the Peace Bridge border crossing between Buffalo, New York and Fort Erie, Ontario.
SCENE ONE - Entering Canada
CANADA CUSTOMS GUARD: What's the purpose of your visit?
ME: I have a job interview on Monday. And NBC's Olympic hockey coverage stinks.
CANADA CUSTOMS GUARD: [laughs, then looks at The Lovely Mrs. byoolin's trebuchet] You've been to Canada in the winter before, right?
SHE: Our honeymoon was in Ottawa one February.
CANADA CUSTOMS GUARD: They're just a whole different level of mental there. Have a nice day.
SCENE TWO - Entering the United States
US CUSTOMS GUARD: Why were you in Canada?
ME: I had a job interview.
US CUSTOMS GUARD: [gestures at my 'Green Card'] You know if you move there you have to give this back, right?
ME: Yes.
US CUSTOMS GUARD: Okay, then.
