1. I was waiting at my gate, and there was a couple there that I think was Japanese. The guy had a banana. Instead of peeling from the top where the stem is, he peeled it from the bottom. That fascinated me. Do Japanese people peel their bananas from the bottom, or was this some kind of one-time anomaly?

2. I got home and got my car from the parking lot, and had to stop at one of those little booths to pay the parking fee. They parking guy's name tag was "Yasir A." That gives you a good feeling about airport security.

3. Speaking of homeland security, I had to fly three hours on a plane with a guy sitting directly behind me who was wearing a Romanowski jersey. I kept hoping an air marshall would shoot him.

4. I was in the security line at the airport, and I had my shoes and laptop and stuff in those little tubs that I was pushing along the x-ray conveyor. The guy behind me wasn't paying attention and pushed his own little tub into my hand. I ignored it and kept moving. Ten seconds later, he did it again. Once is an accident, twice is inexcusable. If I didn't have to catch a plane, I probably would've killed him with piano wire.

What a great thread! I don't know how the heck I have missed it all this time. #1 and #3 are just awesome
