This is back in the cold war era, on the border between Finland and Russia. There are three men standing in line to pass the customs. Now the guard says: "To carry anything with you across the border, you must be able to stuff it up your arse!"

The first man has nothing but a pencil in his hand, does what he's told and are allowed to pass the border.

The second man carries with him a toothbrush. He does what he's told to and passes. Only, as the man walks through the gate he does so with a repressed laughter building up. The guard notices this and asks him what's so funny:

"The man behind me just bought a watermelon for his aunt."

Yea, I know, it's a bit tacky, but so is my sense of humour.

Hmm. I would leave the pencil, toothbrush and watermelon at customs.

Yes, but then the whole joke would have been lost. Like a movie. You know you wouldn't enter that particular room without assistance, but if the character of the movie doesn't, the film would be less than worth viewing. 🙂

Okay, I know.
I prefer the mau mau joke.
EDIT: And the League of Gentlemen version of it is even funnier.

I went to that site but the joke must be buried in a mound of
verbage. Where is it?
