Mullfoto of the Day

The Boarding Pass from Hell:

Starting from the bottom up: In the lower right hand corner the "SSSS" means you are going to have to take off your belt, shoes, collar stays, underwire bra, and anything else the "TSA" agent who is going to do the near-full-body-cavity-search requires.

You are in Zone 9 which means the chance of having any overhead bin space left by the time you get on the airplane is about the same chance of you being invited to dinner with the Sultan of Brunei.

Finally, after all that, you are not only in coach, but you are in the rear of the airplane (although in an aisle seat).

The good news about the Zone 9 business is you have plenty of time to go to the bathroom before you have to board the plane. NOTE: This was not my boarding pass. I would have taken a different flight. Or rented a car.

Catchy Caption of the Day

Actual Caption:

A woman stands outside a sandwich shop in 2006. An obese Saudi man weighing more than 400 kilogrammes (880 pounds) needed a dozen men to help transport him to hospital.

Oh, see? There's yer problem: You want your stripes to run vertically to make you look trim and slim, not horizontally.

NOTE: I acutally think I may have used this photo before, but even so, it's worth the replay.
