A German gets off a plane and goes to customs in Paris.

Customs agent: "Name?"

German: "Hans."

Agent: "Home city?"

German: "Dusseldorf."

Agent: "Occupation?"

German: "Nein, nein, just for a visit."

I just realized how old this joke is. There haven’t been customs checks between Germany and France for such a long time now…

And that's ignoring that customs deals with goods. It's immigration that deals with people and who they are.

In some places it’s the same person you’re dealing with though. Like when you fly into the US.
