On the Border
Americans have a fantastic sense of humour, and adore a practical joke.

They love to tease tourists by asking them blatantly silly questions on immigration forms, just to see whether you share that sense of humour.

So as you enter, try and think of witty replies to ‘joke’ questions like, “Have you ever been a member of an international terrorist organization such as Isis or Al Qaeda?” and “Are you carrying any Class A narcotics in your luggage?” They’ll love it, makes the process really fun.

The immigration officials really enjoy the joke about Class A if a school trip arrives and all the party tell them that they have narcotics in their luggage but Class A isn't on this trip.

Also when asked what is the purpose of your trip they usually have a laughing fit if you respond by saying that you are looking to make America great again by killing President Trump.

Obviously everyone has their own views but IMHO this place is way overrated. I took a bunch of friends from the UK who were visiting and was very disappointed. Just seems like a big tourist trap with coaches parked outside - food was average and they won't take credit cards. Seems to be living on past glory, wont be going back

Do you remember a song with the line: Standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona?

Notice the girl in the "flatbed Ford" in the reflection in the window.

I've been there! The same road trip I mentioned earlier in the thread with [MENTION=522]Kinky Gerbils[/MENTION]

The gift shop opposite was hilarious. The woman who worked there was completely bonkers and absolutely OBSESSED with the song. They literally just played it on a loop.

We also paid a visit to the old London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ. It's kind of weird to be driving through the desert and come across this old bridge complete with original lampposts.

James Cracknell got knocked off his bike and fractured his skull whilst cycling through Winslow Arizona. No idea if it was a girl in flat bed Ford but it probably wasn’t slowing down to take a look at him

Remember walking along that with the wife being told how her Dad had walked along it during his working life in London. Very atmospheric and madly incredible.
