  6. Lessons from my cousin by crazyjj · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've got a cousin who loves to mess with people who mess with him. When telemarketers call, he tries to keep them on the line as long as possible, only to tell them at the end that he's not interested. When people try to push brochures or flyers on him, he grabs as many as he can carry, crumples them up in front of the sales drone, and throws them in the trash. He's quite clever and takes a great delight in his ingenuity (my favorite is when he goes off on telemarketers, yelling "I'm trying to masturbate here!!!").

    His answer to the TSA pat-down? He starts acting like he's getting off on it and then hits on the TSA agent (male or female) at the end of it.

      I like telling them the person they are calling for died. Their script doesn't have a response for that.

      I actually did this once as a teenager. I told her that my dad died last week from a heart attack. They briefly apologized and then asked if I was now in charge of the long distance bill.

  8. Enjoyment = Viagra + patdown by ciderbrew · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is there a law about taking Viagra and enjoying the patdown? Let the holiday start before take off. Not the best thing to do when wearing a Kilt I guess; but I don't claim this to be a wise idea.

    We here at the TSA has been doing a spectacular job of undermining airport security and making a mockery of government policy in the wake of 9/11. we certainly dont need the help of airline passengers to continue this legacy, especially if in this case it takes all the fun out of clandestine patdowns and secret naked pictures. Now gentlemen, if you'll excuse me, i believe theres an 8 year old girl and an incontinent 72 year old diabetic that need some 'enhanced screening'

    I'd be more likely to hire him. There's a good chance sex offender meant he urinated in public or some other inane thing. I need employees who are willing to take some risks.

    Besides, what the hell is wrong with nudity? Why are we in America so terrified of the human body?

    Visit your nearest Wal-Mart. Visualize the people you meet there, nude. And THAT should answer your question nicely. . .

    One word: Christian Right

    How about these two words: prison industry. The private prison industry has a strong interest in making every law as strict and harsh as possible.

    How about these two words: 'fat' and 'ugly'?
