How did you meet your friends?

What do your friends do?
-One has an art gallery, one is a student, a few work retail.
Where do they live?
-I think one lives in the Old Port and not really sure.
So you don't know where you're staying?
-I'm staying at Hotel St. Paul.

My experience at YVR:
Secondary private room because I was doing a dame day turn (though on the ground for the full day). They didn't like the fact that I had a diagram of a family tree. They thought it was some sort of drug ring. (I was preparing a eulogy for the following day).

My experience at the Canadian/US Border in Northern Vermont:
Mind you, this was the US side, as I was coming back to the States. Here are the questions he asked:
"How is it that you flew in and are driving out??"
"What is the name of the airport you flew into." I answered, "Montreal." He said, "No, I need the name." "Dorval" I said. "That airport doesn't exist."

Once we got by that series of question, it continued:

"Why were you in Canada? Isn't the US good enough?"
"Why are there only two of you? Where are your wives?" (We are a gay couple)
"You aren't allowed to have your iPhone on when you are crossing the border."
