One fine day Weldon Wallick said:

WW> Wayne: A year ago I flew up to Maine from Florida (Lakeland). Not
only am I left AKA, but I have a urostomy. Boy, did that get them
going.

No doubt Weldon. When they felt the bag....."Don't touch my junk!"

Original TSA Full Encounter : sorta like The Full Monty:

"If You Touch My Junk, I'm Going to Have You Arrested!"

Good to see you again. You might recall, or not, that I left my right
leg in a little town between Lakeland and Winter Haven--actually
Auburndale...at the intersection of Recker Highway and Hwy 92.
I was going to Lake Wales via US 27 when an 18 year old pulled out
onto 92 after stopping at 92/Recker. My motorcycle and I hit him
traveling at a high rate of speed. He won.

W> I won't fly again. If I have to go to Alaska, I'll drive the whole
way. Funny how the Israelis have a "chat" with each passenger and
that takes care of the problem. "OMG, profiling"

As a ten year old I crossed the US border in my family's automobile
at Niagara Falls. The border guards would stop each car and question
the driver (always) and sometime the passengers. My father, the
driver, rightly or wrongly assumed and told us that the guards could
tell by a person's demeanor whether or not they were lying or
otherwise up to no good.

And I'm with you. I've not flown in a number of years, and less
desire to do so with each passing day.

Via Arlo Guthrie:

I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want to die
Just want to ride on my motorcy...cle
