Not quite smuggling, but close. Many years ago I was asked at the northbound crossing at San Ysidro what I was bringing back. The wife and I had a bottle of Orendain Ollitas tequila and a six pack of Carta Blanca (the old shorty bottles with the opener in the bottom because, as the saying goes, one good thing leads to another).

As it turned out, six 12-ounce bottles was more than a liter (I never was good at math), so we got sent to secondary. The guy in secondary told me that I had to get rid of the three beers that put us over the limit, pointing to a wooden rack that you're supposed to put the open bottles on to drain out.

I asked if he wouldn't mind if I drank them instead. He said, "OI don't give a damn what you do with them." So, I hung out in secondary for a bit, knocked back the three beers, waved goodbye and hopped on the freeway. Probably wouldn't turn out the same way these days.


I like this one! Thanks DanO

Would love to know what "the usual-- Body" is, vs. an unusual body.

You have read, I assume, about how I smuggled my bird across into Baja.

But a better one, or actually two better ones, were when we smuggled two Mexicans back across to the US when they were deported, about 25 years ago.
And about 30 years ago...never mind!:bounce:


THAT'S what I was looking for!

Attended a wedding in the 80s in La Jolla then a chartered bus drove the party to a Rosarita Beach restaurant for the celebration. Bride/groom went wild dancing on tables. Around midnight, the bus took everyone back North, at the border, immigration boarded the bus for inspection, and found a case of undeclared beer & tequila. Everyone was drunk, taken off the bus, and ''arrested'' -- the perp confessed and an hour later, and we were back onboard headed North.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.
