They're obviously effective.

I love segways. Governments should have some kind of program to make cheap ones and give them to old people. They're just so easy and effective to get around on.

He had that sinking feeling about buying the company.

At Gatwick last week we were in the queue for immigration & 2 flights came in and these 2 muslim lads from my flight & row on the plane were up there & this posh sounding old woman from a vegas flight said to her husband "oh we must move queues, they'll never get in, they can't have passports" to which I told them to shut up and asked if they'd had withdrawals from the daily mail cos there's always a wh smith in arrivals.

A couple of years ago, an acquaintance of mine was flying through London. He wasn't entering the UK, but because of the length of his layover, he had to go through immigration, where he was apparently deemed a likely Islamic terrorist on account of his prodigious beard.

After a brief interaction with the immigration officer, he was taken to an interrogation room for "questioning." According to him, the interrogation began as such:

quote:

Official: So, when did you convert? Suspicious Man: Pardon me? Official: When did you convert to Islam? Suspicious Man: I'm not a Muslim. Official: Then what about the beard? Suspicious Man: I just have a beard. Official: But why? Suspicious Man: I'm male. Facial hair is a secondary sex characteristic of human males. Official: But you could shave... Suspicious Man: Well, are you a Muslim? Official: No, of course not. Suspicious Man: Well, you have a beard. Official: Not like yours. Official: If you're not a Muslim, then what's your religion? Suspicious Man: I'm an atheist. Official: Do you have any proof of your religious affiliation? Suspicious Man: Atheism isn't a religious affiliation. Official: Excuse me while I check on a few things. Suspicious Man: If it will expedite this process, I would be happy to doodle some pictures of the prophet Muhammad. Official: That won't be necessary.

After a considerable wait, he was then allowed to proceed through immigration...

As funny as that is, that's just sad and despicable. That immigration officer sounds like a prejudiced moron.

I remember the entry questions when I stopped off in London in 08. The questions were the most random things around.
At least I had an Aussie passport so I got an automatic 90 days anyway.

This nutty woman from the travel agency wanted me to shave my goatee because she thought I'd be deported from the UK because they might think I'm a Muslim terrorist. I've never EVER in my whole life seen a terrorist that sported just a goatee, much less dressed up like a skateboarder.

Needless to say, I got in in less than a minute.

The questions they asked me were pretty all right: What I did for a living (and when I told her I taught Japanese, she asked me a quick question and sort of regretted it when she realised I was going to lecture her about the pragmatics of the Japanese language), where I was going to stay, how I met these people I was going to stay with, and that was it.

I remember I complemented her on the colour of her eyes when I left too, but I took care not to say that before she allowed my entrance because I wanted it to sound genuine... whether or not she believed me, at least one person made her smile that day

Yea mine started with "what's your job?" Then something like "what sport do you play?" Then "what's your favourite colour?". Followed by something like "do you prefer hot or cold weather?"

I'm standing there going...."Riiiiiiiiiiiiight"
