I was once with a tour group visiting the UK.  As we filed past the
immigration officer (at Heathrow), each one showed his passport, was
asked why (s)he was visiting ["Well sir, I'm with this group that is
visiting your lovely ..."], and got a one-week tourist visa stamp.

When it was my turn, I said I was going to topple the oppressive
government and the entire class system, teach everyone to cook like
the French, and free the masses from their servitude, but since I
didn't want to stay and experience the ensuing chaos, I might as well
get a tourist visa too.

He said "Normally I'd tell you such a job is rather a large
undertaking, and stamp you for two weeks, but I suspect you're
kidding," and gave me the same as the rest.
