boston trip (part 1 of 3): take-off in 5..4..3..2..1

going through u.s. customs before leaving canada was very entertaining! i wore heels since it was a business trip and all.. so i figured why not dress the part. i was walking into the canadian line behind two men when one of the airport officials opened up the barrier for the line and told me to go to a till for american citizens.

so i walked over.. as i got closer the customs officer i was told to go to was moving his hands as if he was directing an orchestera and was swaying his head side-to-side. he said he liked making fun of ladies who wear heels! asked me all of one question:

customs officer: why are you entering the u.s.?
me: for a seminar.
*stamp* *stamp*
customs officer: now i get music when you leave!

oh so amusing :)

while eating lunch at the airport a couple sit down a few tables from me.

gentleman: i'll have a glass of wine please.
server: i'm going to have to see your i.d. sir.
gentleman: what? okay then..
server: it's a policy as of october 2006 that we have to i.d. everyone.
gentleman: here you go.. i'll be 76 next month you know!

hahahahahaha :) policies set by equalists.. gotta love 'em.
