I am guessing that you clicked the link?
Tell the truth. If you didn't I still respect you, but if you did . . . that's funny right there, I don't care who you are. ;-)
Too many of us needed this. We are just too full of ourselves.
GA
I did. I trust you. But I didn't find it funny. My exact reaction was "erm, oookkk" (you can't hear it ).
But I appreciate the effort. LOL
Really.
Now I am seriously worried IslandMom. Whether one wishes to admit it or not, the "star" of the video and its implications are a fact of life - as I see it. And if you don't see the conveyor-belt scenario as funny - then I am worried that you don't have a sense of humor.
And you must have a sense of humor to survive this life. Especially with two new boys to contend with. You have some work to do. I hope you can see that.
GA
I do have a sense of humor. But this I find it silly, not funny. Maybe is a guy thing, or maybe it's because I'm not a teenager anymore.
Ha! I am relieved. It is both. That you find it silly is enough.
GA
Yep, I think it is definitely a guy thing. And I thought it silly too. Along with being funny.
As the image picked shows, my first mental image was of a drum major leading the band of baggage.
GA
That was a hoot, people standing around, not wanting to comment. This is someone's practical joke. It was large economy size, but it belonged to somebody. Who has the claim check?
I worked for a few months during the middle Seventies at The old Denver Stapleton airport as a Security guard, long before any TSA.
The stories I could tell about the variety of things people had in their purses and luggage during a search and all you had to do to remain professional and not burst into laughter. You learn quick to dump the contents of a purse to be searched on the examination table You no more put your hands in a purse than put your hands into the jaws of a crocodile.
You gave a funny mental image Cred. Thanks.
I can just see you taking a step back.
GA
Before you buy a [insert object seen on conveyor belt], you should think long and hard.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
"Long and hard . . ." Ha!! I knew we were kindred spirits. You dirty dog. I am going to tell your husband.
GA
I told my husband and he shrugged and said, "Now he sees how you are." lol
I grew up with three brothers and no sisters and a Mom who worked swing shift so I didn't see much of her, then had two sons and no daughters. I have been surrounded by men my whole life so I usually "get" their humor.
I am not surprised Sandy. I also knew that you were not one of the "delicate ones" that should not click. (that was intended as a compliment)
GA
I clicked the link. I'm always up for a laugh. I don't get the joke.
You don't get the joke? Really? Having to wait for a dildo to complete a circuit before you can grab your luggage, and you don't get the joke?
I don't believe you.
GA
Ok. So the baggage handlers sent a dildo out and waited until it came back before they put the luggage on the conveyor.
Still not funny. It's kind of like bathroom humor. Only certain people are going to find the joke, I guess.

When flying, do you cram all your stuff into a carryon or pay the baggage fee?In the last couple of weeks, I have flown on several trips. My husband and I were flying with a bag that we had paid for and one carryon bag. But we noticed more that not, the flights were booked full. Even more annoying...

What do you think about most airlines charging for baggage that used to be free?

How do you pack for a flight?Almost everyone knows that packing is such a hassle, especially for a domestic or international flight! There's fees for excess baggage, baggage weight limits, and all that hassle!Those things stress us out, but I have a few questions for my fellow Hubbers out there....

Why exactly do they sell luggage at the airport?It has always amused me that you can buy assorted luggage INSIDE the airport terminal. It's not like you see that many people walking around with armfuls of clothes in the hope they find a luggage store... Have you ever bought anything in...

I've read the policy of my airline company so I know that part already. I'm flying to Brazil, Sao Paolo and staying at the coast of Ubatuba. Surfers paradise. By the way...I can't surf:-)I'm wondering about experienced travelers, sharing some tips and tricks about handlugage....
