So, you went over the northern border to Canada’s casinos to gamble, and you won some cash. A lot of cash. Here’s yet another reason NOT to lie to Customs and Border Protection agents and officers at the border. Question: Why don’t they tell the IRS? Wish I knew the names of these schlemiels.
That anchor person is quite attractive. And spunky, too. Grrr

Good info. Pretty reporter. But her black street accent is beyond annoying. Are we in Mississippi?

I always wanted to get a few friends together, cross the border into Canada, don Groucho Marx masks and come back across to see if the USA Border Guards would have a chuckle or take the car apart. A funny idea? Probably. Probably not a god idea to try though.

Actually, a lot of times the customs and border patrol have a great sense of humor. When I was moving back into the U.S. from the great white north, I had a hammer and sickle with me. As soon as I pulled up to the customs booth, I put them, together like they were on the flag of the old Soviet Union. The customs guard got a real laugh out of it.
Next I told him that if Senator Joe McCarthy was still around that I would have been immediately arrested for treason. But much to my disappointed and my surprise, the customs guard did not know who Joe McCarthy was so instead of getting a chuckle out of that, he had a blank look on his face.
Although the guard was a young guy he still should have known who he was. I too was born after after the McCarthy era but I knew all about his with hunts. Don’t they teach history in schools anymore?
If anybody else does not know who Joe McCarthy was, just click on the following link.

It’s a bogus, unconstitutional law that allows the seizure of property as done in this story.

Agree with Manfred.
What’s schlemiel?

At the very least, these 2 Schlemieler knew where the money was at.
In Canada, when you win the lottery or at the casinos, the money is yours. You win $50M – you keep it all. End of story.
To the 2 losers: a good spanking!
