Seriously, now...

August 31, 2006 ( politics )

Without pens, we had nothing with which to fill out the immigrations and customs forms required for international flights arriving at their first port of entry to the United States. We ended up -- all 172 of us -- sharing the chief flight attendant's pen, passing it from row to row.

The war on moisture's been extended to PENS? (uncorroborated blog from UK only thus far), via boingboing.

I think we should ban all unapproved books and burn them at the gate, since books can spread subversive thought (and give nasty papercuts!). In fact, it'd prolly be best if we were just shackled and ball-gagged before walking down the gangplank, and then securely buckled into our seats. A few deaths from deep-vein thrombosis is a small price to pay for freedom. Catheters or adult diapers could take care of bathroom needs. They could play pro-democracy readings of the US Constitution (censored, naturally).
