Airport Security

As time goes on, I find myself less and less concerned with who may be carrying a bottle of water onto a plane, and much more regularly affected by people who seem to have missed health class on the day that they talked about why showers and deodorant are a good idea every day.

I'm okay with them making people take off their shoes as they go through the security check. But maybe instead of sending the shoes through the x-ray machine, they could just take that opportunity to give them a good smell; if they fail the smell-check, it doesn't matter what the machine says... they don't get on the plane. They can either take a shower or check themselves into the hold.

THAT I would wait in line for.

Gads I just laughed out loud in the office at that label...

Whatever happened to my pal the Hat Guy? I miss him. Can't you arrange another sighting of him before it's too late?

Yeah, despite my best efforts to get him transferred to Munich, I haven't been able to keep up with him. The last few times I did see him, though, he was hatless. I took that as a rather personal affront so maybe it's best that we've parted ways quietly.

Whoever told you that showering EVERY day was a good idea is just wrong. Don't you know that is just marketing? Plus, deodorant gives you cancer and natural skin oils are goo for you...

I like the new layout. I am going to have a shake up (when I can be arsed). Just so you know it isn't a copy! :-P

P.S. I see you didn't feel the needd to give me a permanent link??

Cancer in 60 years for friends today? Seems like a pretty reasonable trade-off to me. It will take a lot more than a vague cancer threat to change my mind on the shower/deodorant issue. Skin oils, waste of water... yeah, whatever. I don't want to sit beside someone who smells.

I think not washing is a lot like the accordion: I would be willing to concede it as a right, but only if done in private. As soon as you take it outside, it's a whole new ball game.
