I'm thankful that in these times when terrorists are capable of bringing down
an entire city block with a plastic box cutter, that
our airline passengers are safe from people carrying on fingernail clippers,
and that we know that our checked baggage is free from
explosives, and that no off-duty police officer is carrying a concealed weapon.
Not that the threats ever come from those areas....
It just, well.... yah know.
Kinda good "ANYWAYS"....
I'm mean.....
You know.
In case the terrorists should switch tactics and, ya know, decide to try
something that we're prepared for....
Oh, never mind.

ps, I "wrote stupid" on purpose, okay? It's black humor, okay?
