Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Are you allowed to say, "bomb" when you stand behind the counter?

[โ€“] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 22 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Sure. But.

Story time:

I was once annoyed at the airport x-ray and joked something like "duh, of course there's a bomb in my bag ๐Ÿ™„".
The security guy then said: "I know you're joking, you know you're joking, but I now must search your luggage thoroughly. Congratulations."

Lesson learned: never say "bomb" in an airport. You might have the right, but it will make your & other people's day shittier.

I want to make their days shittier, thanks for the tip

What if my grandfather was a bombardier?

Both you and grandfather are getting a federal colonoscopy.
