Hi y'all.
Sitting on the back porch in Sugar Land, drinking a Shiner.
I was thinking about a story a guy on the rodeo circuit told me.
I don't know if it's true or not, but the character of this man lead me to believe it could be true.
Here goes:
Our friend was coming back for Mexico and came up to the Rio Grande.
He said "Just to see what it's like, y'all let me out. I'm going to swim across and you can pick me up on the other side".
He got across, where he was met by border patrol, who told him he was under arrest for illegal entry into the United States.
He said, "Come on fellas, I am a citizen, I was just goofing off".
They said, they knew that. They told him he would have to come back in through the check point.
"No problem" he said, "My friends should be here any minute."
The agents smiled and said, "No,I don't think so" and pointed to the river.
He swam back to Mexico.
True or not, it's a good story.
It got a laugh out of me.
