Heard @ the Airport

Airport security: Is this your jacket, sir?

Me: Yes, it's mine.

Airport security: Please follow me, sir.

I followed the security person on my socks, since other security personnel were busy examining my shoes for shoebombs or if the smell could be lethal (which wouldn't suprise me at all).

Airport security: We saw something strange on the x-ray, sir.

Me: Ok...

The security person felt my jacket for bumps and found one and suddenly...

Airport security: What's this?!

I opened the inside pocket of the jacket and showed him my cardholder.

Me: It's a cardholder.

Airport security: What do you use it for?

Me: I store credit cards in it.

I opened the cardholder to show him the cards. He took one out (to test it for sharpness?) and soon put it back, a little disappointed that I wasn't one of those bad guys he'd seen in the movies as a little boy.

Airport security: Ok, that's fine. You can go, sir.

Sure I could have killed someone with my VISA that day, but lucky for the cabin crew I didn't feel like it (busy vomiting in a brown paper bag).

Song of September 2009

It's already October and I'm a little late with my post. I blame this late post on the course I'm studying now, which makes me unmotivated and a bit lazy. This doesn't mean I've stopped listening to music. But I have been listening to many different types of music lately. So the song of this month could be anything from Basement Jaxx newest album Scars, the Watchmen soundtrack (Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix etc.). But it was when listening to Mark Ronson's Ooh, Wee that I realized where I had heard those violins before: Sunny by Boney M. It's not often I choose to listen to disco music, and I'm still not sure if this should be the song of the month, but it's something with those violins. Anyway listen to it here on Spotify. And while you're at it, listen to the slightly better version by Bobby Hebb.
