This afternoon....

Via Tele-ma-phone

Me: "Hey, I can't check in online because you can online check in 24 hours prior to your last connecting flight's departure time. How retarded is that?"

Hubby: "Well, we can just do it at the airport in the morning I guess."

Me: "What if they give away our seats? It's Scare(Air)-Canada...they do that."

Hubby: "They won't. I'll raise such a fuss. Kicking and screaming. We'll either get on that plane or kicked out of the airport."

Me: Laughing...."Sounds like a great plan...."

Hubby: "I'm going to get tasered!"

I hate travelling with this airline. I also hate having my direct flight changed to a lay-over flight arriving 6 hours AFTER the time I wanted to be there. The end result of our conversation (other than me laughing my ass off at the idea of a cop being tasered in the airport) was that we'll check in tonight and just not print off the passes. Because we are too damn cheap/lazy to buy more ink for our printer.

The printer ink aisle scares me. I imagine it's something similar to how hubby feels in the feminine hygiene aisle. I saw this great postcard at Post Secret on Sunday. I have a new mission in life.

Hubby's response to the article on a shark attack I forwarded this morning (see last post):

"This is why I need to bring a knife with me. I shall be the 'Shark Hunter'!"

....and the chances of that excuse flying with security at the airport? Anyone? Anyone?

Words of 'wisdom' from the Rummy One (and various people I've stolen from)

I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Some people are like slinkys; they serve no useful purpose, but they do make you smile when they tumble down the stairs.
When I was a kid we had a sandbox. Actually it was a quicksand box. I was an only child...eventually.
It's a mistake to think you can solve any major problems with just potatoes.
You know what I miss? I miss the old days, when I'd think up a sinister scheme for world domination and friends would show a little emotional support. I mean come on now....really.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear to you: I have absolutely no idea how this sentence I'm currently writing is going to finish. When and if it does, I can only hope it makes some kind of coherent ceramic pineapple vibraphone.
