Per Ardua Ad Astra
6 of us TA soldiers were driving from Germany to UK in a military mini bus, crossed the English Channel and ended up in Dover.
The vehicle pulled into the customs hall.
Customs officer:-”Do you lads know what you are allowed to bring in duty free?”
Us in chorus:-”Yes”
Customs officer:-”Are any of you over whats allowed?”
Us in chorus:-”No.”
Customs officer:-OK, turn out your kit.”
Cartons of cigarettes, German Ashback brandy, bottles of perfume for wifes, girlfriends and other items clattered onto the custom officers table.
Customs officer:-”I thought you said you didn't have anything over then what your allowed?”
Me:-”Blimey mate, I cant remember everything.”
After paying the required duty, the customs officer gave us a lecture about smuggling being a serious crime, I pointed to a sign in the customs hall that read, “Vehicles used for smuggling will be impounded.”
Me:-”Are you going to impound our mini bus?”
Customs officer:-”Not bloody funny.”
Moral of the story, Hide your contraband better.
And
Customs officers don't have a sense of humour.
