The story has been repeated numerous times, seems not a month goes by without having to go over it again, what with all the new "members". I was working in Juarez Mexico doing some preliminary recruiting for a small but fervent religious sect cum Amway distribution network. It was all very hush hush and wush wush. Met a Turkish ex-pat (REALLY should have seen that one coming) who wanted me to drive a van across the border to El Paso. All I had to do was give the van to some Latvian chiropracter, 500 bones easy peasy, and since I was low on cash and high on low back pain, what I got to lose, eh? Well, they have these dogs ya see, nice doggies, but persistent little cusses. Wouldn't you know it, but Fido or Sparky, whatever the damn mutt's name, decided to "mark" the van I am driving. These border agents go apeshit, I mean like they won a lottery or some such. None of them was all too concerned with my detailed story about the Latvian. Or, for that matter my "in" on some primo cleaning products that could remove all types of bad odors (which they obviously needed) and broaden their spritiual horizons. They were having none of it, my bad it seemed. So, long story short, my court appointed evidently took the "abridged" version of Criminla Law and I got a dime on Fed trafficking charges. Not too bad, plenty of time to work on my translation of "The Simpsons" episodes into Esperanza. Unfortunately, the goverment has this real long application and vetting system for suppliers to Federal installations so I doubt I can get any commissions from cleaning product sales to this place. Bottom line: I was framed, man, I am inn-o-cent.
