I can recall many funny and irritating questions at different boarders the UK and the US the more irritating. Two funny stories that happened to my friends when we were traveling together:
LHR Customs: How long will you be here for?
Friend 1: 3 days
C: Do you have enough money to support yourself?
F1: Yes more than enough (My friend is worth plenty of $$$$$)
C: prove it
F1: I have $100USD plus $200AUD and 50 pounds on me plus $30 Grand on this credit card and 20 Grand in this bank account
C: That is not enough proof
F1: You can look at my ticket we at on the last leg of a big round the world ticket I have already paid for my accommodation, I can assure you money is not a problem. I will be gone in 3 days
C: No I need more proof!
ME: Sure trust me he has more than enough money!
C: I will let you through this once but you are very lucky!
Customs in Miami: Sir how tall are you?
Friend 2: 177
C: What the hell is that, that is not your height?
F2: yes that is my height
C: Son I know that is not your height, tell me your height in feet
F2: In Australia like the rest of the world we use the metric system so that is my height.
C: Well you are in the US now I want your height in feet!
F2: I guess around 5'10
C: Lucky you said that I was about to send you back to Australia!
Oh you gotta love customs!
