Was driving the US Southwest a few years ago and decided to make a quick side trip into Mexico (Hwy. 2 ('dos?') along the AZ/Mexico border). Came up to a road block manned by Federales and guess who they decided to stop and search (hint: it's a rhetorical question). They were pretty menacing at first, but eventually realized we were too dumb to be smugglers (maybe because I described my spare fuel pump as a 'fuelo pumpo,' and the spare water pump as an 'agua pumpo'). When I reached for my wallet to produce my driver's license--SOP in the States--they though I was offering a bribe.
