I was nearly the victim of a funny borderhack once, in China. We were trying
to get into Zuhai off a boat from the Perl River. One of my travelling
companions ~ my father-in-law of all people ~ was mocking the very stern
guards by jumping back and forth over the border line singing "in, out, in,
out". Communist guards don't have much of a sense of humour, but we almost
made him smirk.
