Customs officer: "Do you have something to declare?"

Man: "No."

Customs officer: "And what do you have in the sack?"

Man: "Sand."

During the check it turns out: actually sand.

Every day for a whole week the man comes with the bike and the sack on the luggage rack. On the eighth day, the customs officer becomes suspicious.

Customs officer: "What do you have in the sack?"

Man: "Just sand."

Customs officer: "Hmm, let's see..."

This time, he sand is sifted. Result: just sand.

The man continues to visit the border every day. Two weeks later, the border guard has enough and sends the sand to the lab. Result: just sand.

After another month of "sand transports", the customs officer can't stand it any longer and asks the man: "I'll give it to you in writing that I won't tell anybody, but you're smuggling something. Please tell me what!"

The man: "Bicycles..."

Situation different, but joke quality still remains the same.

Yeah, me too.
When I first heard it, (over 40 years ago) it was sacks of grain and he was smuggling donkeys.

My ancient ancestors told it about great grandpa Thag who was smuggling triceratops by riding them across the border.

Similar to the one about the guy working at the wheelbarrow factory and always took a load of trash out in a wheelbarrow at the end of his shift.

I heard this joke I think on Fargo. It was wheelbarrows.

I originally heard this as a story attributed to Nasrudin, and it was made more amusing by the fact that it was camels carrying sand across the desert.
