Diversions

My InCharge and I are in line to pass through Customs, he approached the agent before me. As I patiently await my turn, I overhear him debating with the agent about the origins of an apple he is trying to bring through, and attempting to convince the agent that he is in fact adhering to the 'fruity' regulations.

This whole conversation strikes me as so absurd and causes me to laugh to myself.
He seizes my laughter as an opportunity to take the heat of himself, and begins to tell the agent (who has just taken notice of my laugh) one of my many embarrassing stories to exacerbate my laughter.
Needless to say it does the trick, and distracts the agent enough to stop caring about the apples, and allows my I/C to pass through unscathed.

Tricksy InCharge.
