The customs in Canada

Posted by pseudoname on May 26, 2006, at 15:06:47

This was on a psychiatrist's blog (Shrink Rap). She was posting about her trip to the convention:

> Funniest moment: leaving the country, I handed my passport and boarding pass to the Immigration officer. He asked why I was in Canada and Was I a Psychiatrist. When I said I was, he moaned and said, "At least your not as disorganized as the rest of them."

Babblers on the trip heard about my experience with customs. I drove in from the United States. The Canadian customs officer asked me why I was coming.

Me: To visit some friends.
CO: Where are you meeting them?
Me: At Baroote's restaurant on King Street.
CO: Where do you know them from?
Me: From an online group.
CO: You've never met any of them in person before?
Me: Nope.
CO: Pull over to the office.

The ticket he gave me to hand to the other officer said on it: “Meeting online friends he's never met before.”

CO: What's the name of this online group?
Me: Psycho-Babble.
CO: What's it about?
Me: Psychology and stuff.
CO: So this is work-related?
Me: No, no. Just personal. You know.
CO: You've never met any of these people before?
Me: Nope.
CO: Are you going to be meeting them very often?
Me: No.

So they searched my car, my luggage, my dirty laundry (which I had brought with me). They went through all my papers and read the list of screen names & cell phone numbers.

CO: How long have you been in this group?
Me: About 5 years.
CO: Is it pretty much the same people in it all that time?
Me: Pretty much.
CO: Nobody really new?
Me: Not really.
CO: Have a nice day.

I didn't know then that CanadaGirl has only been on Babble for about 3 months. Whew! ;-)
