So as I flew out of CM on Friday, I was briefly interrupted by the bod at the scanner who held up two cheap Bic lighters and said "Only One".
I was about to correct him, and tell him the actual line in the movie was "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!" but I realised he probably wouldn't get the reference. So I just said "Which one's got the most gas?" and he gave me that one, dumping the other in the bin.
I wondered if this rule was somehow related to "Shoe Bomber" Richard Reid and whether or not his actual problem was running out of gas, and that had he had a second lighter, his fiendish plot may have succeeded.
Turn to today, leaving Phnom Penh, and I had bought a load of spices in Cambo because they're really cheap.
This bint went through every one and then carefully removed the Smoked Paprika.
"OK", I naturally asked, "so why?".
She gestured throwing the jar in her eyes. apparently indicating that I might somehow use it to blind one of the crew.
"I understand" I sighed, I mean what's the fucking point?
I was pondering it further on the flight as I tucked into my meal with the metal fork....
