Of course, to get the ax on the airplane, you'll have to convince the airport security people that you're not a hijacker:<BR/><BR/><B>Security person:</B> Excuse me, sir, but there's an extremely sharp ax in your briefcase.<BR/><BR/><B>You:</B> Yes, I need it for my business. I'm an ax murderer.<BR/><BR/><B>Security person:</B> Oh, okay. Sorry to inconvenience you, but we have to be on the lookout for hijackers. It's for your own protection. <BR/><BR/><B>You:</B> Of course. Keep up the good work.</EM><BR/><BR/>Of course, I note this at the risk of making my own writing look a little, um, derivative.Mitch Teichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755362614003939247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10200671.post-1118204939897807692005-06-07T23:28:00.000-05:002005-06-07T23:28:00.000-05:00This guy was smart.
