Life Is Like a Pair of Brown Shoes
An immigration officer was sick and tired of dealing with illegal aliens who would pretend not to understand any English for several hours and then suddenly speak it fluently. So on this particular evening when the agent stopped a truck filled with thirty illegals, he decided to try something different.
“Do any of you speak English? ¿Habla Inglés?”
Every head shook no, and every face looked very quizzically at the frustrated officer.
“Okay, well, look, I’m really tired of this. I’m gonna shoot you all, and I’m going to start with the people wearing brown shoes.”
As the officer drew his pistol, three men looked down quickly at their feet. They quickly and gladly accepted the role of translator for the group.
