What I didn't say, Karla, was that there were about a dozen of us with identical hands in each of our bags.

It was during the first Gulf War and there was heightened security for British flights.

The security bloke asked the first in line what it was in the luggage. He said that it was a German training aid, and the security guy gave a blank look. My colleague said 'It's called Hans.'

We all fell about laughing, but he didn't.

Yesterday we talked about vacations
So of course I have to ask

What is the strangest, unique or most unusual thing you have taken with you on vacation ?
We don’t take too many vacations, and I don’t think we have many strange or unique things. My wife might say we are the strange and unique things, but I think we are as normal as the next couple and fit well in our peer group.


So how many of you will be called "Joe" today ?
Not me, not my name.


When was the last time you flew a kite ?
I had one of the acrobat kites when we lived on the beach. Now we live inland where there are too many kite eating trees and don’t view the sacrifice of a kite necessary to have a good summer.

What is the strangest,unique or most unusual thing you have taken with you on vacation?


Drawing a blank here - up until the past few years, we seldom if ever took vacations, and the ones we did take were pretty unexceptional. I can't recall ever taking anything odd with me.

So how many of you will be called "Joe" today?

???? I suppose someone might call me that, but I probably wouldn't answer.

When was the last time you flew a kite?
Oh, goodness.... It's been at least 45 years, possibly longer. I remember my dad taking me kite=flying when I was just a wee child, maybe three or four, and I have hazy recollections of trying it by myself when I was a bit older than that, maybe 7 or 8. I was never able to take my own kids kite-flying; I started having problems with my hip before they were born, and by the time they were old enough to be interested, my mobility was virtually gone.

Probably dirty grey. Have not seen it in 4 months.

lol what color is it suppose to be ?
Dark grey

Not one to be in a hurry I usually hang out in the right lane. I find if I set my cruise control for the speed limit I rarely overtake anyone. Seems every time I move over into the left lane, there is someone riding my bumper no matter how much over the sped limit I go.

A 3 or 4 lane highway going over a bridge ?
Does not matter. I have no fear of bridges

Extra Credit Question:

What is your beverage of choice while you are eating
Breakfast ?
OJ or water

I can not think of anything strange. I pack very light. Everything I take for a week long vacation will fit in one small suitcase. If I am gone longer I take the same amout of stuff and just find a luandrymatt as needed.

So how many of you will be called "Joe" today ?
Not me. I am content with my real name.


When was the last time you flew a kite ?
That would have been in high school. I was living in Southeast Alaska at the time. Whenever a bunch of us would ride the ferry we would fly kites from the back deck. We would have kite wars where we would crash into each others kites.
