News, but not the serious kind
Will you be taking those grenades all the way to Belgium?
Sometimes I just don’t understand stuff, so maybe you can help me with this exercise in logic.
The security folks at Newark’s airport were X-raying checked baggage a few days ago when they found five hand grenades in a woman’s luggage. Yes, five.
According to our story, the grenades had been disarmed, and the woman surrendered them “without incident.”
She was then allowed to board the flight, bound for Belgium.
Excuse me? These are among the questions I have about this…
-
Isn’t carrying more than two hand grenades already by definition an incident?
If the grenades didn’t pose a threat, why did she have to surrender them?
Would you want to sit next to somebody who tried packing five grenades in her suitcase?
Why would a person go to Belgium?
Another story about the same incident said the Transportation Security Administration “could not say what the woman had intended to do with the grenades once she reached Europe.”
Remember to bring protection, honey
Blog Guy, I’m worried sick! I heard there was some problem with protecting Paris Hilton. Is she okay?
She’s fine, but her bodyguards aren’t.
They were hurt while protecting her?
No, they were fired FOR protecting her. Our story, Elite Polish cops sacked for protecting Paris Hilton, says three police commandos were told to resign or they would be fired for serving as Hilton’s bodyguards during a recent appearance at a shopping mall opening.
Cocktails with Miss Universe, sir?
Blog Guy, I don’t see how you can cover Miss Universe year after year. It’s so boring, it never changes!
That’s where you’re wrong. Compared with the old days, the modern pageant is much more complex and demanding.
Life can be a royal pane?
Blog Guy, I know you must have a lot of inside information about the upcoming royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. The security around them must be incredible. Where could they possibly be finding privacy? Do you know?
Yes, but I’m not sure how to tell you without also leaking it to a lot of other people.
