其實這篇文章的故事情節，應該是抄襲自二十年前的一篇英文短篇幽默小品The smuggler，現在我把該英文小品摘錄於下，大家看了之後，就可瞭解。
The smuggler
Latka was a customs officer in Europe. He used to work in a small border town. It wasn’t a busy town, and there wasn’t much work. The road was usually very quiet, and there weren’t many travelers. It wasn’t a very interesting job, but Latka liked an easy life.
About once a week, he used to meet an old man. His name was Spevna. He always used to arrive at
the border early in the morning in a big truck. The truck was always empty. After a while Latka became
suspicious. He often used to search the truck, but he never found anything. One day he asked Spevna
about his job. Spevna laughed and said, “I’m a smuggler.”
Last year Latka immigrated to The United States. One night he was having dinner in a restaurant in
Los Angeles. On the other side of the restaurant he saw Spevna drinking champagne. Latka walked
over to him.
Latka: Hello, there!
Spevna: Hi!
Latka: Do you remember me?
Spevna: Yes, of course I do. You’re a customs officer.
Latka: I used to be, but I’m not any more. I retired last year, and I live in Los Angeles now. I often
used to search your truck.
Spevna: But you never found anything!
Latka: No, I didn’t. Can I ask you something?
Spevna: Of course you can.
Latka: Were you a smuggler?
Spevna: Of course I was.
Latka: But the truck was always empty. What were you smuggling?
Spevna: Trucks!

走私什麼？
有一個守衛負責在瑞士和奧地利交界處巡守。
有一天來了一個奧地利人,騎著腳踏車要通過崗哨。
他的腳踏車前面裝了滿滿一籃沙子，要是換做別的守衛，大概揮揮手就放他過去；但是碰到這位守衛可沒那麼簡單。
他直覺奧地利人一定在走私，於是拿出一把耙子，仔細翻檢沙子裡究竟藏了什麼東西。可是他翻了老半天，什麼也沒找到，只好揮揮手放他過去。
第二天，同樣的事情又發生一遍，第三天也是。日復一日，相同情節一再上演。始終找不到任何東西，但他就這樣翻! 查了三十年。
最後，這位守衛終於忍不住問那位奧地利人：「這件事放在我心上好多年了，不過我今天就要退休了，要是我不知道答案，一定會很懊惱，希望你能告訴我答案。」
奧地利人這麼多年來和他接觸，也和他有些感情，於是誠懇的點頭說一定會誠實回答。
於是守衛開口問：「這些年來我一直懷疑你走私。你到底是不是走私客？」
奧地利人遲疑了一下，「好吧！我的確是走私客。」
「我就說吧！」守衛說：「可是我天天檢查你的籃子，卻什麼也沒發現，你到底走私什麼東西？
「.........腳踏車。」
