Some Odd questions from Canadian Customs
So as some of you may know I just completed the drive from Tucson to Fairbanks and you can see some pics and the details on my other post. But here I thought I would highlight some very ODD questions ...

Let me share a funny alcohol story that happened many many years ago.
A buddy of mine and myself were returning from a summer camping trip organised in upstate NY for both US National Ski Patrol and Canadian Ski Patrol members
When we got to the border, the Canadian agent asked if we had any alcohol with us, my buddy said no we did not. The agent noticed a cooler sitting on the back seat and he then left the booth to open the cooler. He found a wine bottle with about an inch of wine left in it. He took it out of the cooler brought it to the car window and asked my buddy what it was. My buddy grabbed the bottle from him, pulled loosely stuck-in cork and downed the rest of the wine. He handed the bottle back to the agent and exclaimed "that sir, is an empty bottle".
Needless to say we were pulled in and spent to next 6 hours detained inside the customs office. Lesson learned! :E
