In 1970, donkey shows were supposedly history. Methinks more an urban legend.

My buddy was in the air force and had a week end off so we took a rental car down in 1977. Parked right on the main street and gave a kid $5 to watch
the hub caps. They were gone within an hour any way. The donkey show was right there in a bar on the main street, I saw it. You had to go down stairs,
like in a basement. And pay cover and buy beers.
Now the hoar house was a ways away we were told. Jumped in a cab and he drives in circles for a half hour till were at the HH. Turns out it was only 2
blocks away. My buddy got Syphilis and the AF was peeed. He died last month. R.I.P. Randy, 53 yrs. old. ( don't know how he died, just said long
sickness, haven't been in touch for years )

The donkey show lives. I've heard a Hollywood documentry is being made on the subject, "Donkey show Dandy" with Rosie O'Donnel as the in-depth
participating reporter. High awards are being whispered.

On the way back that night we got stopped at the border. The guard said to get out of the car. I got out and saw a 45 cal. bullet laying on the
asphalt. I pointed it out to the guard, he picked it up, looked at me and said this is yours... No No I said I just saw it laying there. He called
over the dog, then proceed to tear the car apart. Back seat out, air cleaner off, crawling under the car, all the interior panel out of the trunk...
Never did find anything, we didn't have a gun ( aren't that stupid ). Had to put every thing back ourselves...

I had a funny one: was looking for contact lenses in Tijuana. The opticas are mostly near the pharmacias. One of those pickup trucks full of cops
flagged me down and asked me if I had bought any valium. I told him I was just looking for contact lenses. They searched me, and found a piece of
paper with my prescription on it. Until they found that I really thought they were going to put me in the back of the pickup.
Another one was even better: parked in TJ to get a quick bite. Very stupid of me but I didn't park in a secured lot. Got back, and someone had broken
in and stolen the stereo. Some cops then drove by and got out, even before we said anything. I told them in my broken spanish that someone had stolen
the stereo, but that its ok, we're just leaving. They got out and frisked us. Crazy. I told them it was us who had gotten robbed, and to prove it to
them I showed them the detachable face from the stereo, which was hidden under the seat. I left it on the driver seat after talking to the cop. I then
talked to another cop, and he said oh its ok, you can leave. I thought I must have gotten my point across. When I got back to the car I saw that they
had taken the detachable face....
Personally I never ever stop in TJ anymore. If for some reason I do want to go to TJ, I park on the other side of the border.

One time we bought a liter of tequila with the worm in it. We were caught with it at the border. The guard said you can dump it in the trash, go back
and drink it, or sell it. We turned around and stuffed it under the spare tire in the trunk. Went back across, they searched the hole car and didn't
find it. I've never been back...

The cops in TJ can be really scary. Some day when I'm in the mood I may post the stuff that I have seen them do or what my TJ resident friends have
experienced. It can be really traumatizing, dangerous, and humiliating when those cops get you.
