Контрабандист и таможенник

Таможенник увидел, что один человек приезжает в  страну каждый день в течение последнего месяца. Он знал, что этот человек  занимается контрабандой, но не знал, что именно он провозит в страну. Мужчина был всегда очень вежлив. Он всегда снимал шляпу и говорил таможеннику «Добрый день». Таможенник всегда просил его открыть сумку, но не мог выяснить, что же этот человек провозит в страну. Он не находил ни виски, ни духов, ни сигарет, ни чего бы то ни было. После того как таможенник досматривал сумку этого человека и ничего не находил, он всегда снимал шляпу и говорил «Спасибо. До свидания!» Он был очень вежлив, но таможенник был уверен, что этот человек контрабандист.

Через месяц  таможенник настолько расстроился, что оставил свою работу. На следующий  день он увидел, как контрабандист  подошел к новому таможеннику. «Добрый  день!» - вежливо сказал контрабандист  и снял шляпу.

«Добрый день!» - сказал новый таможенник. «Не могли бы вы открыть вашу сумку, пожалуйста». Мужчина снова открыл свою сумку, но новый таможенник также ничего не нашел.

«Спасибо. До свидания!» - сказал мужчина и снял шляпу.

Выйдя из таможни, старый таможенник, который оставил свою работу, остановил его и сказал: «Я больше не работаю на таможне. Я оставил мою работу. Не могли бы вы сказать мне, что вы провозите? Я знаю, что вы что-то провозите контрабандой». Старого таможенника сводило с ума то, что он не знал, что это было.

«Верно», - сказал человек. «Я кое-что провожу контрабандой. Я провожу шляпы», - и он снял шляпу  и сказал: «До свидания!»
