I knew that immigration officers at the airport are not as terrifying as they are said to be (or maybe I’m just lucky).

Or maybe you're just hot.

Wonderful article! Here in the US if my pals and I want to give each other grief in a friendly way we insult their work ethic.
" What'd you do today besides sleep in front of the computer "
" You taking ANOTHER vacation - damn, you are lazy "
" You put in your usual 3 hours of work today?"
But in truth each one of us works a huge number of hours each week, many of us have built our own small business and enjoy working. In the States you really can get ahead with a strong work ethic no matter what your background is.

If you really wanted to insult someone around here - make a serious and snide comment about their work ethic...that doesn't go over well at all.
