When the train from France to England was full, a lady sat next to an Englishman. The French lady was very worried and anxious. The Englishman asked, “Why are you worried? Is there a problem?” She said, “I have 10,000 euros with me, which is more than the allowed amount for foreigners.” The Englishman said, “Well, let’s split them. If the police catch you, at least half of it will be safe. Give me the correct address in England, and I will return it to you.” They did just that. During the border inspection, the French lady was in front of the Englishman, and they didn’t search her suitcase. It was the Englishman’s turn. He started shouting and saying, “Officer! This lady has ten thousand euros with her. She gave me half to pass through. The other half is with her. Take it from her. I am not betraying my country. I collaborated with you to show how much I love Great Britain.” They inspected the woman again and took the money. The police officer spoke of patriotism and how much a simple smuggling damages the country’s economy. He praised the Englishman. The train continued its journey and went to England. Two days later, the French woman saw the Englishman in front of her house. Angrily, she said, “What do you want from my life, you trickster?” The Englishman handed her a packet containing 15,000 euros and said, “This money is yours, and this is your reward!” Don’t be surprised. I wanted their attention diverted from my bag, which contained 3 million euros! I had to resort to such a trick!
