Neither Did Sammy Davis Jr.

The scene: Monday morning at Canada Customs in Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. I have just stepped off my flight from Boston.

Me: Good morning.

Customs officer: Good Morning. Where are you coming from today?

Me: Boston.

Customs officer: And the reason for your trip to Boston?

Me: Visiting the fiancee and future in-laws.

Customs officer: Congratulations!

Me: Thank you.

Customs officer: I see you’ve declared $150 — are those gifts?

Me: Yes — they’re Chanukah presents.

Customs officer: (Does a double-take, looks at me again.)

Me: What, don’t I look Jewish?
