Gun Running in the Peace Corps

One Sunday morning I noticed a small canon on the lawn in front of the Governor's Mansion in the Casamance Region of Senegal. There being no one in sight I managed to get the canon into the back up the Peace Corps pick-up truck. I drove south and crossed the border into Portuguese Guinea. Here it should be noted that there was a rebel force in that country seekiing to take over the government. My unlawful entry was noticed by border guards who, when they saw the canon in the bed of the pick-up, ordered me to get the hell back to Bignona. I guess I was lucky that they realized I was just having some fun.
