Here's my customs experiences:

*Entering Canada... 7 secs, guy looks at
my frightening photo, asks why I'm there.
I tell him to see "The New Red Green Show"
He laughs, stamps and waves me through.

*Leaving Canada... about 30 secs... Mr.
SourPuss (is this a taboo word here?) growled
why I was in Canada... I startled babbling
(to see the CBC station, Les Miserables,
The New Red Green SHow.) He also asked me to
explain the two items I bought:

*A 1999 Red Green Show Calendar.
*A pair of Eddie Boxer Boxer Shorts (I ran out)

He kept looking at me and the passport photo (a very younger me) then let me through.

The YANK before me got into it with Mr.
Sourpuss because he didn't ahve a passport
and kept saying his driver's license should
have been enough I-D. The Customs agent said
"Next time I would suggest that you always
carry a Passport for I-D."

**A CATMAN PHILOSOPHY!!**

The lady who took the Customs card thought
it was funny that I was a fan of the Red Green Show. Two male customs agents did the
"secret" greeting of fans of the show with me. (I won't say it here...)

Also to answer BlondeBomber's concerns about
the airport workers strike... did not see any
unusual delays, although the bus that took
me to the airport parked far from the AC
gate I needed to be at. CATMAN
