Flying? Increasingly for the Birds

[elleng]

“I’ll be passing the back of my hand over your buttocks and then come up the insides of your legs up toward the private parts. Is that O.K.?”

“Sounds peachy to me,” I knew not to say. You’re not supposed to joke with airport security, as people have learned the hard way.

7. I took the train from Durham to outside of Charlotte a month or so ago

and it was about the same as gas and slightly faster than driving after factoring in traffic. Luckily I can walk to the train station from my house and also at my destination.

“I’ll be passing the back of my hand over your buttocks and then come up the insides of your legs up toward the private parts. Is that O.K.?”

Dick Cavett has more control than me. The first thing out of my mouth would have been "As long as I get a reach around out of it!!" I'm one of those people who would have learned the hard way!!

BTW, I'm pleasantly surprised Dick Cavett is still around. I enjoyed his talk show as a youngster!
