I guess we could copy one and be sure to let any authority see it when they accost us.

So stay out of the sun and work on any accents you may have, to include Boston and and any of the regional California ones.

and Aryan (really).

So I get off the bus --- "Let me see your immigration papers." I'm sweaty, dirty, unshaven from 2 1/2 days on the damn bus. And I am tanned, having spent a week at the Ft. Hood officer's pool. My uncle was a captain.


"What?" --- I'm not sure how to respond since all of this is outside of any prior New Jersey experience.

"Papeles, de inmigración."

"Huh?

Whereupon the kid who was sitting in the seat next to me on the bus, "Sir, we don't rightly give immigration papers to Yankees coming into Mississippi."

Officer: "Where are you from?"

Me: " New Jersey"

"Ok. Be on your way."
