    I will try to give you guys the basic. Cantinflas is trying to cross the border. He gets irritated because in the public servant takes forever to respond.

    The border guard says to Cantinflas, what do you want! Cantiflas says "I have not even crossed the border yet, and you are already being rude to me!" Anyway, Cantiflas says "What do you think I want? I want to cross the border".

    The guard says Why? Cantiflas - "I want to spend my money in Tucson - Tuc.

    The guard - Do you have any plans to overthrow the U.S. government.

    cantinflas - How could I overthrow the government, I don't have any arms/bombs,etc. Even if I did, you guys would confiscate them for your own use".

    The guard - it is not the aciton it is the intent

    Cantinflas - Why would I overthrow you government - who would lends us money and bail us out?

    The guard - can anyone identifiy you.

    Can - Just my horse and my burrito, though I just met the burro three days ago when I bought him. The horse is Mauricio, and the burro is Fiera Bras.

    Then - the burro Fiera Bras crosses into the US.

    The guard want to fine him a dollar. Cantiflanas says, why don't you fine the burro, I didn't do anything.

    The guard then says - ok, i will forgive the fine just this once.

    Then-

    The guard goes to open the gate, but he can't find his key. Can says why don't I just go around the gate- The guard - YOU cannot, it is a violation

    Why can't i just crawl underneath - YOU cannot, it is a violation

    Cantinflas - If I would have known this, I would have come by ship.

    Cantiflas then picks the lock. The guard says what is that!!!

    Cantilas - A lock pick made in Mexico!!! The Guard, that is against US policy!!!!

    On and on. There are a lot of second meanings in Spanish. The humor is quite hilarious. In translation, this may not sound funny, but it really is.

    This is my half ass rendition, I got to get to Home Depot or my wife will Karate kick me.

    see ya fellas,

    Abner :)
