Back when the speed limit in the US was 55 and 100KPH (62) in Canada we would cut through from Niagara to Port Huron to save time when going to/from the east coast. On the way back into MI at Port Huron with a tour bus full of kids and the cargo bays neatly packed full of disassembled bicycles we all were asked where we were born. It was dark out and the bus had bunks inside and very little interior lighting. On the bottom bunks were two 18 year old boys from Kenya with VERY dark skin and a strong accent. When the agent asked them where they were born they replied "Kenya" but the agent couldn't understand them and repeated the question, and then again. Finally the first young man replied quiet loudly "KENYA! Have you never heard of Africa man?!" Oh Oh. Inside they went and the agents decided to search the bus. As they went to open the cargo doors on the driver side I tried to stop them explaining that the bikes were loaded from the other side and they would pour out. Also they didn't understand this old bus's doors, but they pulled the handle anyway. The bottom of the door came down like a pickup tailgate but at 1 ft from the ground it smacked the guy in the shins, the top door then swung out being pushed by all the bikes and smacked the guy in the chin setting him on the the parking lot on his backside followed by a few wheels which rolled out to greet him. Needless to say 'saving time' did NOT turn out to be one attribute of that "Shortcut".
