[00:17.36]Customs Officers are quite tolerant these days, but they can still stop you when you are going through the Green Channel [00:24.33]and have nothing to declare. [00:27.20]Even really honest people are often made to feel guilty. [00:32.01]The hardened professional smuggler, on the other hand, is never troubled by such feelings, [00:37.23]even if he has five hundred gold watches hidden in his suitcase. [00:42.14]When I returned from abroad recently,a particularly officious young Customs Officer [00:48.11]clearly regarded me as a smuggler. [00:51.94]'Have you anything to declare?' he asked, looking me in the eye. [00:56.67]'No,'I answered confidently. [00:59.63]'Would you mind unlocking this suitcase please?' [01:03.56]'Not at all,' I answered. [01:06.05]The Officer went through the case with great care. [01:09.96]All the things I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess. [01:14.79]I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again. [01:18.87]Suddenly,I saw the Officer's face light up. [01:22.80]He had spotted a tiny bottle at the bottom of my case [01:27.17]and he pounced on it with delight. [01:30.35]'Perfume,eh?' he asked sarcastically. [01:33.30]'You should have declared that. [01:35.03]Perfume is not exempt from import duty.' [01:38.69]'But it isn't perfume, I said. 'It's hair gel.'Then I added with a smile, [01:44.88]'It's a strange mixture I make myself. [01:48.63]As I expected,he did not believe me. [01:52.08]'Try it!' I said encouragingly. [01:54.70]The Officer unscrewed the cap and put the bottle to his nostrils. [01:59.72]He was greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth. [02:05.65]A few minutes later,I was able to hurry away with precious chalk marks on my baggage.
