Unlabeled Containers

Friday, October 06, 2006

The latest trick from the TSA is that some checkpoints are requiring that the 3 oz bottles in your ziplock bag be in labeled containers. Of course there's nothing in the regs that say that, but why create problems? Just reuse your hotel containers and fill them with what you want.

Of course, this reminds me of the story of a friend that returned to his hotel room rather late and rather drunk. He awoke the next morning with a horrible taste in his mouth. To his shock and horror, he discovered a tube of Preparation-H next to the sink with his toothbrush, and his tube of Crest still in his shaving kit...

Find The Boots

An executive goes on a business trip. When he arrives, it's raining cats and dogs. To avoid ruining his shoes, he purchases a pair of galoshes for $15, which he expenses under "Misc." on his expense report. A week later, the accounting department rejects his expense report, with a post-it note that says that the company does not reimburse for items of clothing. The next trip, the executive turns in an expense report without the galoshes, but with a post-it note that says "FIND THE BOOTS!".
