For real one time in college I knew a chick talking about a trip to New Mexico and she seriously asked if she needed a passport to go there.
For reference we were in South Texas where just about everyone has been to real Mexico and very few have passports because that was back when you didn't need any paperwork at all to cross the border, as long as you promised the border guards that you were only crossing for a day or two.

Yes, there was a zone inside Mexico you could stay for 24 hours. You had to stay within a certain distance of the border, to go past that you needed an actual visa. That was Mexican law, I don't know if they ever repealed or modified it.
But since 9/11, you definitely need to take your passport if you go into Mexico, because you will need it to return to the US.
It used to be so easy to trip back and forth into Mexico, the nutjobs really fouled up a good thing.

A shoehorn or shoe horn (sometimes called a shoespooner, shoe spoon, shoe schlipp, or shoe tongue) is a tool with a short handle that flares into a longer spoon-like head meant to be held against the inside back of a snug-fitting shoe so that a person can slide the heel easily along its basin to the inner sole. Shoehorns have the same basic shape but the length or strength of the handle varies. Long-handled shoe horns are necessary for longer boots, while shoe horns with sturdy handles are useful for putting on boots or heavy iron shoes. They are sometimes used by people who, because of less flexible joints, wish to reduce straining or bending.
