Mutant Giraffe At Our Borders

This is a very strange story of a mutant giraffe, giraffe body and monkey head, and the problems of crossing over the border from Canada. Now the problems didn't arise because a giraffe can't drive or even that he could even get a licence, or that someone would even give him a permit to learn how to drive. It's that he had stuffed in his truck, a sawed off shot gun hidden in a box of stuffed animals. Yes it true a big goofy mutant giraffe concealing a sawed off shotgun, 12 gauge I believe, also, he had other mutant giraffe's in his truck but they knew nothing of the shotgun. As they moved closer to the border crossing he started to sweat, and it became harder and harder to swallow. And being a giraffe it is very hard, considering the length of his neck. As the guard came up to the truck, and asked him to roll down the window. He could hardly get the window down, as he was nervous, and he was a giraffe not use to rolling down windows. My next truck I'm getting automatic windows he thought.
" Have you got any fruits, vegetables or plants in this vehicle?" the guard said.
"No sir" the giraffe replied.
So the border guard started to walk around the truck, and spotted the box full of stuffed animals.
What's that? aay?" he said.
"Just a box of stuffed animals' the giraffe said.
"Lets have a look see aay" the guard said.
So the giraffe unhooks his seat belt , giraffes are very safety minded, and climbs out of the truck. He had such a hard time holding the keys, nervousness and the giraffe thing again. As he tried to open the back of the truck the key wouldn't fit. As much as he tried it wouldn't open. The guard tried, but it wouldn't work for him either. While this was going on traffic was building up behind this truck. The guard, started to get a little up tight about the traffic and finally saying to the giraffe
"OK get out of here !"
So with sigh of relief, the giraffe jumped back in the truck, and was about to drive off, when the guard approached the window again and said
"Your not from around here are you?"
"No I'm from Detroit" the giraffe said.
"I also noticed that you have a monkeys head" the guard said.
"We'll I am a mutant" the giraffe said with a big smile on his monkey face.
They all had a good laugh and promised that they would write. As the giraffe pulled away all he could think about is why he would cross the border with a sawed off shotgun hidden in a box of stuffed toys. But as often happens, that thought left his brain in a millisecond, as thoughts often due for a mutant giraffe. As the group drove towards Detroit they all had a good laugh.
"Can you believe that guard saying that I had just a monkey head.
"Yea, jokes on him it's a prehensile monkey head." They all laughed till there giraffe stomachs hurt. Mutant giraffe, you see, don't have the best sense of humor.
