Stupidest reason for entering a country

Drove to Canadato buy one cigar once.


NNO will come on here soon and say, "Sex."

 

Went to Gibraltar just to get my passport stamped. Stayed about 2 hours just walking around. Kind of weird, a bunch of Brits on this little spit of land on the tail end of Spain. Had bangers and beans for lunch.

 

It was captured by the Brits in the Battle of Gibraltar i believe in the 1600s.

 

somebody has been studying european history....

 

auctually i was way off it was captured by the Dutch in 1607.

 

same thing....

 

Britain seized Gibraltar in 1704 during the War of the Spanish Succession and was officially ceded the "rock" in perpetuity by Spain in the Treaty of Utrecht (1713)

 

comes through in the clutch, I knew britian seized it.

 

Ohhh, The irony!

 

haha, that's what I was thinking. Somebody might as well use them.

 

Drove to Vermont to have lunch.

 

I was transiting through Turkey, got off one plane, went through immigration and got the **** stamped out of my passport. had to pay a $100.00 visa stamp which they glued to the passport over the previous stamps, then proceeded to staple some piece of **** paper over the visa stamp. had to haul ass to catch my connecting flight. total time in Turkey: 50mins

 

5 hour layover in Frankfurt. I never did see much of Germany

 

That isn't stupid, they have ISOMs there. But the prices up there are kind of high. If you know of a place with a good selection it could be worth it.

 

It wasn't my first visit, nor my last, but it was definitely the stupidest:

Connecting through Heathrow in 2000, I'm paged to the BA desk over the loudspeaker, where I'm told the baggage tag has come off my suitcase and I have to go put a new one on. Now, they know it's my bag, and they have it, but for some reason I have to traipse across the airport to replace the tag that THEY ripped off. And when I point out this absurdity to the nice lady at the desk she comes across with major attitude. And it turns out that the lost luggage department is beyond passport control, so I have to beg for a visa so I can go do the job of British Airways for them. Total time inside British territory: 15 minutes tops.

You think "military intelligence" is an oxymoron? Try "English customer service!"

British Airways: "Yes we're expensive, but we're MUCH more annoying than other airlines, and that doesn't come cheap."

 

I had to go through Canadia a couple of times just to get to the rest of the US.

 

mum spat me out here

 

Mejico to drink a Corona and into Canada to eat a Lobster dinner.

 

8 hours in Porto because the plane had to land for some technical pb. Not that stupid after all..

 

Terrible airport.

 

I have yet to like an airport. Worst of all being JFK and Guarulhos. Absolutlely nothing to do or to buy , and dirty as a ghetto.

 

Funny you should say that... I once drove to Canada just to have sex with another guy... He said he was up there just to buy one cigar... Weird...
