Gun T-shirt 'was a security risk'

Submitted by jef costello on 3 June, 2008 - 21:35.

Moral of the story is, grow up and don't wear transformers t-shirts, you're in your thirties for fuck's sake.

I am pretty sure I have worn my Turbonegro Osama t-shirt onto a plane. Surely thats a security threat too? What about a t-shirt with a box-cutter on it?

Weeler also has an Oscar the Grouch tshirts - lulz cos he still think he is young.

3 June, 2008 - 22:32

That is a cool t-shirt (the tranformers one, not Weeler's. Obviously.). Security people obviously dared each other to stop him for laugh. Which is fair enough.

true Jess, I'd imagine you have to do all sorts of stupid shit just to make that job interesting

i know, and the comedy arises when we repeatedly point this out, no matter how nauseating it is , nay precisely because it's nauseating

Really you are encouraging me.

3 June, 2008 - 22:52

I like lemon topman shirts!

There's an episode of the Simpsons where Maggie's watching The Count. And Marge goes "Why don't you go back to your own country!". Can't find it on youtube sad

I used to ID people in the pub when I was bored. No one who is old enough has ID smile

stanley knife. We call them stanley knives.

TBH when i found out that is is what 'box cutter' was i was pretty fucking astounded they let them on with them, the dumb motherfuckers.

4 June, 2008 - 09:23

When I found out they meant stanley knives I was pretty astounded that 100 americans didnt have it between them to overpower them. Like if your choice is death of a few inch deep cuts in your arms/face, I know which I would go for?

4 June, 2008 - 09:28

well how did they know that weeler? they coulkd have been landed in libya or some shit it could have been just a hijacking.

also - they killed a few people first we believe, just to let people know they meant business, and they killed the pilots - makijng themselves the only cunts who could fly.

And finally - "some of uss will probably die, but the ones behind us may overpower them. Who first then?"

- that would get a LOT of takers.

Sure, if you'd been on that plane tho, you'd have knocked them out and have been shagging the hostesses whilst giving the passengers life coaching over the PA.

I am sorry you are a coward Tacks.

Weeler should pilot planes, actually, Alan could be his co-pilot

i believe i heard that with the fourth plane, the one which ended up just crashing in a forest, the people actually did overpower the hijackers. unfortunately did them little good in the end anyway.

5 June, 2008 - 08:07

Should have tried harder.

5 June, 2008 - 10:40

they were led by a puff, who was probably more busy thinking about men's hairy arseholes than saving lives.

5 June, 2008 - 12:37

Harden the fuck up, United 93!

I've never heard that about the stanley knives before. I always wondered how they got machine guns through airport security... embarrassed

5 June, 2008 - 13:29

I reckon I could have talked them al-Qaedas out of it, with my rationality and common-sense.

"Yo lads, come on now, this is all a bit daft. You know there's no god, no afterlife yeah? No 42 virgins.
So let's just put down the stanley knives and fly this badboy to cuba. Good lads"

5 June, 2008 - 16:11

I reckon my uni's debating society should invite al-Queda onto campus for a debate. There's no argument that can't be won with rationality and logic after all! Anyone who says this is a stupid idea hates free speech.

5 June, 2008 - 21:07

Exactly, and failing rationality and logic. Just throw shit at them, swear, give them the fingers, and tell them to "fuck-up". Failing that, be really racist and tell them to go back to "rag-land".

I think I remember reading a few years back that "virgins" is a misprint, and it's actually something like "figs" or "dates"

And on another note, there's no way you can get Al-Qaeda to Cuba, but Algeria might work: one-stop shopping for all your radical chic and Islamic fundamentalist needs!

5 June, 2008 - 21:20

See I was being all rational and thinking about fuel economy, and how, given the flights were domestic US, anywhere further, like Algeria, would be unfeasible. Unless of course, there was some sort of re-fuelling stop-over.

But I take you point on board, and will most certainly consider it next time I am negotiating my way out of an al-Qaedas plane hi-jack.
"Hey Mohammed man, what about Algeria? Let's take this baby there instead of smashing it into some buildings!"

I think it's to do with vowels not being marked in arabic writing so some words acan be interpreted differently, I think it was grapes that the guy said it could be.

7 June, 2008 - 00:07

"well, i wasnt sure about your religion, but now that i know that i'll get 42 grapes when i die, sign me up!"

"fear not, soldiers! fight bravely, and if you die, you shall go to heaven, and be rewarded with GRAPES! yes, grapes! 42 of them even! Allah just wanted to give 40, but Muhammad went and said 'naw, man, make it 45, you got yourself a deal.' and Allah haggled him down to 42, but that's still pretty great i think."

7 June, 2008 - 00:44

What we need to do is offer them 43 virgins here on earth.
