The Smuggler

Sam Lewis was a customs officer. He used to work in a small border town. The road was usually very quiet and there were not many travelers. It was not a very interesting job, but Sam liked an easy life. About once a week he used to meet an old man. His name was Draper. He always used to arrive at the border early in the morning in a big truck. The truck was always empty. After a while Sam became suspicious. He often used to search the truck, but never found anything. One day he asked Draper about his job. Draper laughed and said: "I am a smuggler". Last year Sam retired. He spent his savings on an expensive holiday. He flew to Bermuda, and stayed in a luxury hotel. One day he was sitting by the pool and saw Draper drinking champagne. Sam walked over to him.

Sam:	Hello, there!
Draper:	Hi!
Sam:	Remember me?
Draper:	Yes... Of course I do. You're a customs officer.
Sam:	I used to be, but I'm not anymore. I retired last month. I often used to
	search your truck...
Draper:	...but you never found anything!
Sam:	No, I didn't. Can I ask you something?
Draper:	Of course you can.
Sam:	Were you a smuggler?
Draper	Sure I was.
Sam:	But... the truck was always empty. What were you smuggling?
Draper:	Trucks.
