It pays to have friends in high places.

Hey Pearl! True, but only if they realise that you're their friend! Indigo x
Deleteof course the same is true of low places.......
DeleteOh, I'm not fussy. New friends are always welcome; I don't really have the knack.
DeletePesky Lion! Surely he is off grinning somewhere while spilling zebra on that tie while you suffer.
ReplyDeletepliers??? *shudders*
Hey Eolist! I'm still trying to get the taramasalata out of the blue sevenfolk silk tie. The bastard. Indigo x
DeleteAt least you don't have a titanium hip joint. One is not even left with the protection of underpants.
ReplyDeleteHey Z! True, tho my tin foil underpants were of little help anyway. Indigo
DeleteSharp suit though
ReplyDeleteHey Lulu! Yes, and that at least is his =) Indigo
DeleteWhatever you do, Indigo, don't bend over.
ReplyDeleteToo late!
DeleteDarn - and I have yet to be frisked. I can take knitting needles on the plane, but not into the county courthouse. Yet they both let me carry ballpoint pens.
ReplyDeleteWhat color are your underpants?
Hey Roxie! The knitting needle rule is bemusing. As you say, a ballpoint is okay. As for my underpants? White. Mostly. Indigo x
DeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteIt's the magnetic personality, Indigo... :*>
Hah! You win today's charm award. Bless you and namaste Yam! Indigo x
DeleteRight on the mark! All federal buildings here have scanners, and lots of Americans my age have metal bits in them. We do a spread-eagle strip dance. It's patriotic!
ReplyDeleteHey Geo! Proud of you sir. It's like that nice President Kennedy said - "Ask not what your country can do for you, but how many clothes you can take off in embarrassing situations for your country." Indigo
DeleteGak ... we have not yet entered this territory in my neck of the woods, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteRe your reply to Z: Tinfoil undies? Don't they pinch?
Hey Jenn! It's worse than airport security; they'll at least let you take your STUFF with you if they decide it's safe. Not so the embassy. I had to rent a locker at a local pharmacy for the time I was in there; phone, car keys, camera, android tablet, earphones. Such fun. Indigo x
DeleteOh, and the underpants didn't pinch for long.
DeleteA 'taxing' situation to be sure. As for King? I doubt I'd admit to knowing you if you were just in underpants either.
ReplyDeletePerhaps if you wouldn't lock your wardrobe things would have been different. Not better necessarily, just different.
Hey Alistair! Now, stop that punning right now, young man. We're not on F*c*b**k. Funny how that looks rude with the asterisks in... As for the wardrobe, I've tried everything except acceptance; it's not in my nature. Roth
DeleteWith the long flowing mane of hair that I carried in my younger days I was a natural target for airport security. Now that I carry little hair, and no metal, I pass quick and easy through security.
ReplyDeleteHey Shawn! Yep, I had similar problems in my yoof. Being six feet five tall and sullen-looking didn't help my cause any. Indigo
Deletewhat an engaging story, Indigo!! And I love the drawing of The King!
ReplyDeleteHey Mia! Thanks, delighted that you enjoyed it =) Indigo x
