Robaire Smith is an NFL defensive lineman for the Cleveland Browns. His job requires him to fly. He's been in the league for 10 years. He's got a few flights under his belt. And at 32, I'm assuming he's heard a few things...one of them being that you can't bring a weapon onto a plane. That being said, he was stopped at a Michigan airport for carrying a gun through airport security. He was going through the bag check and they stopped him because a gun was found in his carry-on. Hey it happens to everybody...the whole "Oh shit (slap to the forehead), did I forget to take my gun outta of my bag?" thing. His quote is the best part about it. When confronted, he said, "I forgot I had a loaded gun in my carry-on." Now, the last time I was passing through baggage check, they questioned me as to why I had tweezers in my carry-on (which also made me question myself as to why I was carrying tweezers in my carry-on), and I went through an everything but cavity search to see if I was dangerous. I had to throw my tweezers away. Robaire most likely just had to check his loaded gun...and the Browns were 5-11 last year. Drew Brees, please check your carry-on before your next road game.

Alright, I feel it necessary that I say something (which I am sure you are all excited about). I received a very pointed email from Mr. William Nathan demanding that I become a “follower” and supporter of this blog, which I happily accepted. I even went as far as to include a picture of my four year old boy giving him the finger just for good old fashion conversation.
ReplyDeleteWith that said, shouldn’t a blog actually have content more than once every few weeks. I know he stays busy insulting neighbors, nursing a hangover caused by wine coolers, still trying to find that double zero’s guy, and most likely continuing to steal hotdogs from friends and neighbors. I think we can all agree that he has a rapist wit and a knack for relaying pointless information that I am forced to spend time reading that I will never get back.
So… quid pro quo Nathan, quid pro quo!!!!
Peace!!

"but cavity" is spelled with two t's
