Through Customs

A - Excuse me sir, may I have your passaport and flight ticket, please?

B - Of course!

A - Can you please open your suitcase? I must check some items.

B - Here it is.

A - Where do you come from?

B - I come from Miami.

A - How much did you spend there?

B - I really don´t know but for sure less than US$2,000.00.

A - That´s the limit! Here I see a digital camera. Do you have its receipt?

B - Sure, here it is. It cost around US$160.

A - How about this laptop?

B - This I took with me from Brazil but before travelling I went to the Federal Police to register it, so I would not have to pay any tax in my way back.

A - May I see the registration, sir?

B - Sure, it is in my wallet. Here it is!

A - You are very organized, wish all passangers were like you.

B - The matter is that when you are used to travel a lot you learn the rules.

A - That´s true. Welcome back home!

B - Good bye. Thank you.
