===========================
 GJ> 48 Hours gives them just time to go around the world before arriving

Nothing so interesting the last time - Carol and I were booked
on a nonstop flight that was broken up without our knowing to
two separate flights, with separate numbers. Our didgeridoos
and stuff were labeled with just the earlier flight number and
so sat overnight in Los Angeles while they figured out what to
do with them. This year the airline had the good sense to tell
us beforehand that they'd changed the flights, but of course
they screwed up the reaccommodation, so I had to call them to
fix it up.

 Yes, and I have also lost nail clippers
 GJ> which incorporated a tiny nail cleaner.  A metal ball-point pen picked
 GJ> up on the X-ray resulted in a long deliberation before being passed.

H'm ... at some point I lost a lovely stainless-steel pen.
Forgot about that. It cost something like $5 back in the 1960s.

 GJ> I have lost more items from readily accessible pockets to the Sydney
 GJ> baggage handlers than to security inspections.

I hate Sinny!

 ML> One can buy some nice things at the airport, but one does
 ML> pay monopoly prices for them. I am eligible for the SATS
 ML> lounge and sometimes the Silver Kris so don't have to pay
 ML> the extortionate alcohol prices.
 GJ> I was there in 1995.  It was, to me, an awesome experience.

Stick with me, kid.

 ML> SVESTKOVE KNEDLIKY (Plum Dumplings)
 GJ> You wouldn't, would you?!!!  Not for breakfast?  You evil man!

Just a shot across the bow, but I see you've escalated it
to nuclear proportions.

 GJ> Title: Italian Zucchini Casserole

Was that from "Taste of Hell magazine"?

Okay, that calls for appropriate retaliation. Think about
"large oranges" next time you take a meal ...
