A man goes to cross the border of a country on his motorbike. He has three large sacks over his shoulder. The customs officer stops him and asks, "What's in those sacks?"
"Sand," answered the man.
The officer says, "We'll see about that. Get off the bike."
The guard takes the sacks and opens them; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains the man overnight and has the sand analysed, only to find that there is, in actual fact, nothing but pure sand in the sacks. The guard releases the man, puts the sand into new bags, gives them back and lets him cross the border.
A week later, the same thing happens. The customs officer asks, "What have you got?"
"Sand," says the man.
The officer does another thorough examination and again discovers that the sacks contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to the man, and the man again crosses the border.
This sequence of events repeats every day for the next six months. Then one day, the man doesn't show up. The border official runs into him in a restaurant in the city. The officer says, "I know you're smuggling something, and it's driving me crazy. It's all I think about. I can't even sleep. Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?"
What is the man smuggling?
