Customs Check!

John and his wife Jill often take car trips from the U.S. to Canada. One holiday season they were stopped at the border, where the guard asked John the value of any goods we would be taking back with us. John paused to think of the value of everything they had with them. "Never mind," the guard said, "what's the most expensive thing in your car?" Without hesitation, John replied, "My wife."
