Immigration Officer:
First time you’re presenting at a conference?
Me: No, but it’s the first time i’m being checked like this even after telling immigration i have a conference.
Him: Are you nervous?
Me: No, i’m disappointed.
Him: Why? I’m just doing my job.
Me: You didn’t check anyone else, so please don’t tell me this is random.
*eons later*
Him: You can have your passport back.
Me: Can i ask why it took so long?
*directs to another guy*
Other officer: Err, we had another name like yours, with same surname too.
Me: From Singapore? I can guarantee you there is none.
We both know why it was only me who had to go through this, and no one else. Let’s not pretend.
