My ex told me that she had met the wife of some bloke that make bomb jokes at Miami international and the septics had gone to town on him.

Interrogation, intimate body searches, the full works. They knew before they started he was trying to be funny; they just wanted to make an example of him. The woman was ******* livid, they held the flight for a little bit and then released him in time, but made sure that everyone on the flight knew that it was him and what he had done.

I think he got off lightly. The septic homeland security are selected from people who have had a sense of humour bypass.

I can confirm that. Miami airport too - my brother told how he came in to land and got up to the security desk... The woman behing the counter said "So, what brings you to America?" My brother replied, pointing through the windows to a 747 - that bloody great plane there, have you seen the size of it?!" No response at all, nil.

I bet they don't have any problems recruiting then.

The overwhelming majority of septics I've met (lots) have no fecking sense of humour (humor) or irony, or in fact, much sense at all.
