Sometimes a purse is just a purse
(A wonderful TSA rant by Patrick Smith's Ask the Pilot in Salon.com.) That’s the thing with airport security and TSA. There is always something funny to write about. And in place of “something funny” you may substitute the words “exasperating” or “troubling” or “a national embarrassment.” The latest from the Department of You Can’t Make This Up involves a teenage girl who was not allowed to carry a purse onto a flight in Norfolk, Va., because it was embroidered with the design of a handgun.… (life.salon.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

BLUE (JUICE) CHRISTMAS
(inspired by some guy named Elvis, whose song came on the radio on the drive home)
I'll have a blue juice Christmas without you.
My hands are blue just thinkin' about you.
Shoulda worn a green glove on my hands oh so clean
They're dirty, my dear, 'cuz you're not here with me.
And when the blue juice keeps drippin'.
That's when my blue, blue soul starts slippin'.
You'll be doin' alright with no lav dump tonight.
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue juice Christmas.
You'll be doin' alright with no lav dump tonight.
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue juice Christmas.

I was former Airline Management and when I applied at TSA was told that I would be fast tracked to management. Then they denied me ANY employment because I had a blemish on my credit report. So good credit must be a condition for employment for some odd reason.
Good credit is essential, but they'll let your felony convictions slide.
