SW Saskatchewan | Was down in Havre Christmas shopping and treated himself to a little too much Buckhorn beer.
Brought a couple six packs back for the Canadian Border agent. Had a few more himself while chatting with the customs guy, got awful lonely on Willow Creek.
When he finally headed home he missed a curve near Govenlock. Mounties came to investigate, car full of American beer, Lee jeans without any duty paid and the Xmas groceries.
Charged with illegally importing coloured margarine!
PS: When Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949, one of the Articles of Confederation was that coloured margarine could still be made and sold in Newfoundland. The Crosby Family (John "pass the Tequila Sheila, roll over and hold me again" was a son) was one of the large mercantile groups that controlled Newfoundland and they made margarine from fish oil-probably better than butter for Vitamin D in the northern climate.
But our milk cow was only good for butter and a well placed kick when you weren't looking. | |
