just remembered another one
Lajestic vantrashell of Lob, your post reminded me of something. Back in April of 2000 in my last year of high school, our school senior choir and band went over to England to perform in the Harrogate International Music Festival. We stayed there for 7 days then went up to Scotland for 3 days after for sight seeing and what not. As we approached the border our choir teacher (Mr. Tupper) jokingly said that the border is high tech and we'd just need to hold our passports to the window and it'd take our photograph. There were a few bemused chuckles, which then turned to pretty much a bus load of stifled laughter when the yank (an american who was up for that school year because of parents line of work) said quite audibly "uh oh, I left my passport in my luggage under the bus". Oh yes, he turned red when we stopped and he saw it was a big rock with a fellow playing the bag pipes beside it.
