What Payne doesn't show you is Old Man 2010 getting off his plane, realizing he had his handgun with him the whole flight.
1. Fist of Etiquette 14 years ago
  
  It was in his purse. Because 2010 was gay.

    Is the military aware that 2010 kept his handgun after they kicked him out?

Shouldn't he have his hand jammed down the back of that diaper?

  If he stuck his hands down the front he would confiscate the nuts.

  It's not considered pedaphilia if they use the back of their hand.
  1. Bucky 14 years ago
    
    my father used the back and i considered it abuse...

        Can I get your email, I really want to find out more about that p4u
      2. joshua corning 14 years ago
        
        no.
        
        But 35N4P2BYY is correct the frequency is increasing. and i just did some calculations that a server farm recently built in my home town can process as much information as a human brain. In 18 month a facility half the size of the one just built will be able to do the same number of processes and a facility the same size will be two human brains...
        
        then another 18 month 4 brains then 8 then 16 then 32...
        
        The singularity is nigh!

Hey Friday Funnies are back!

(oh, i guess not)
Jen 14 years ago

Actually, I thought this one was mildly funny.
Almanian 14 years ago

Well, I see by the rousing response that everyone's REALLY GLAD the Friday "Funnies" have, once again, been resurrected from the grave. Thanks, Reason!

PS Is Payne not aware that there's a Mosque of Death being built by the children of Nine Eleven Survivors? at the behest of either George Soros or the Koch Brothers in league with the Bilderbergs, the Saudi Royal Family, the ghost of Princess Died, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to celebrate Brasil and Teh Rooskies getting the World Cup of Babies' Blood?

Cause I'm pretty sure that's more topical, and probably would lead to a funnier Friday "Funny" than ANOTHER TSA article. Just sayin'...
sarcasmic 14 years ago

Didn't they stop using wands?

My understanding is that if the metal detector goes "beep" they subject the person to an intrusive pat down in order to find non-metallic explosives, as opposed to using the wand to find what set off the metal detector.

I just confused myself. If the metal detector goes off then they search for non-metallic... detecting metal is cue to look for something that is not metal... wtf?

I think the bigger problem is that the baby had car/house keys that had to be put in one of the smaller bins. Who is letting a baby drive??? There should be a law against that!
1. Fatty Bolger 14 years ago
  
  Not keys. That's a monocle to go along with the top hat next to it. Payne gets us.

I don't get the joke?
I mean, TSA is bad, etc... Is there anything else?
1. anarch's Spark Notes 14 years ago
  
  2011 will bring to pass many, many occurrences - in fact, it will bring to pass every single event that will take place in the entire world over the course of a whole year. Clearly, not all these events pose threats that warrant invasive searches of the type the TSA has been imposing and promises to continue systematically imposing. But the cartoon shows the whole year - ie, every event in the world - so invaded. Add to that grotesque extremism the patent innocence and vulnerability of an infant, and you portray the absurd brutality of the practice.
  
  I'm good at explaining jokes. I find I have to do it a lot.
  1. Rather 14 years ago
    
    Good. Can you explain FINNEGAN'S WAKE then?
    1. joshua corning 14 years ago
      
      explain FINNEGAN'S WAKE
      
      The Irish drink to excess - much hilarity ensues from this fact.

If you grew up like I do using a romantic eyesight of what my wedding party ought to be like, then no make any difference how quite a few issues there are to request yourself, you're positive of a single thing, it requirements being perfect. these days not everybody seems as worried about discovering the great Wedding Dresses, but for the vast majority of us - deep within - it actually does matter.

As quickly when you start preparing or even the large day, deciding on your wedding party attire gets an urgent require for most brides. Nobody would like to wait. even though dealing with wedding party strain and preparations, be positive to enable your self a lot of time to attempt on completely different designs and discover the a single who says "you".

The theme of your wedding party would be an significant place when choosing that unique dress. have you been obtaining married for the beach? If so, you may pick a gentle airy style. Have you made the decision on the formal affair? Then by all means, go all out and put on a light attire covered in silk and lace. what ever kind of celebration your wedding party will be, your attire will perform among the most significant roles in it!With the cost of weddings, some couples attempt and minimize back again by creating their personal flowers, or purchase some wedding dress in a specialized dress shop at a high price, but why don't you try to buy a cheap wedding dresse online directly. Where you can also purchase your ideal wedding dress and some new fashions. whatever style, colour or cost variety you sooner or later choose on when deciding on your wedding party dress, don't neglect that it's you your fianc? fell in adore with, not your dress. The attire adds towards ambiance from the day, however it isn't the genuine centerpiece.

After you have selected your wedding party attire hang it inside bag it arrives in and don't display it to everybody. Give company a thing to start looking forward to once they see you for your initial time walking along the aisle. And unless it is really unavoidable, don't allow your potential husband see your attire whatsoever prior to the wedding. They say it's poor luck as well as if that's merely a superstition, it definitely does spoil his surprise!
