Well, there IS a Vancouver Canada, as well as Vancouver Wa, I'm guessing you're from Washington.

There's one is Washington? I may have to put my virtual foot in my virtual mouth...

True story.......

Last year a young blond lady was stopped at the Canadian border south of Vancouver BC Canada.

She had driven up from Portland OR which is just across the river from Vancouver, WA.

It seems this woman wanted to go to her husbands office located in Vancouver, WA because he had sent her an email saying he was not coming home as he was going to his mistresses house to live.

Now normally the Canadian Border guards are very polite and only ask if someone crossing the border is bringing anything which may be subject to duty and taxes.

This young woman was detained when she stated that she wished to declare the two hand grenades, loaded pistol and loaded assault rifle she had on the passenger seat next to her.

It seemed strange that some one heading to Vancouver WA would drive right through the correct city and then another three hours to another country

Under questioning she stated that she was following the signs which say Vancouver BC and assumed she was going the right way as her husband worked in a city named Vancouver and his initials were B.C.

What about the US bounty hunters who came to ontario after a bail jumper the caught him and tried to take him across the border only the be arested for forceable confinment and kidnapping. They explained to the canadian border guards that they were bounty hunters and empowed by the US to detain bail jumpers only to be told that they were not in the USA anymore.....

Ah, indeed, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Clearly, we avoided mahem because of her stupidity.
