Upon arrival, when the Canadian border agent asked one of them what was the purpose of the trip, he said "I'm here to fish and to 'fornicate'"(he used a much less polite version of the word "fornicate"). The border agent took him into another room and put some stamp on his passport saying he wasn't allowed back into Canada again for several years. Nevermind that he truthfully stated his actual reason he came to Canada, and potentially not illegal as well.
I think your friend would've had a problem with most countries with that answer.
