"Sole purpose of visit"
as someone supposedly quipped in answer to the question on the US entry form:
"Is it your intention to overthrow the government of the United States?"
(that response is variously attributed, although both Evelyn Waugh and Gilbert Harding
seem plausible, given their temperaments, but it's hard to imagine it successfully
breaking the ice at US Immigration. it is sometimes given as "Not sole purpose of visit" which is also effective.)
