A man arrived at the border post of Kenya from a neighbouring country. He came riding a bicycle.Behind him was a sack laden with something.
The customs official on duty duly stopped him and asked him what it was that he was carrying on the sack. 'Sand.' The fellow informed him. 'Lets take a look,' said the officer and proceeded to empty the whole bag.
Sure enough the bag was full of sand but the officer was not convinced. He locked the fellow for the night as the sand sample was sent to Nairobi for a lab analysis. The next day, the answer came back. The sample they had presented was indeed sand! The fellow was let free.
The next day, the fellow appeared again with his bicycle and bag of sand. The officer did his drill and emptied the bag. Sand again! Evry day the fellow would arrive, and every day the officer would empty the bag and let off the guy after finding sand.
Over time the officer retired. One day he was visiting Nairobi when he decided to enter a bar and cool off. There sitted on a corner sipping his beer was the bicycle fellow. He approached him and asked him if he could remember him.
'Sure. The custom fellow ain't you? Sit down and have a beer on me.'
The ex officer sat down and asked, 'Tell me you were smuggling something weren't you?' 'Of course,' replied the fellow.
'It does't matter now, but tell me, What was it that you were smuggling?'
'Bicycles, the fellow intoned!
