Sometimes There Is No Why

via Slog:

The BBC reported yesterday the story of a man who smuggled a few items on a flight from Dubai to Melbourne. I couldn't help but share it. Chief among his smuggled items were two pigeons. TWO LIVE PIGEONS. They were rolled up in padded envelopes and stuffed in a pair of tights he was wearing under his pants. Which begs the question: are there no local pigeons available in Melbourne? He also had some eggs hidden in a vitamin bottle, some seeds hidden in his money belt, and (get this) an undeclared aubergine. An undeclared aubergine for Christ's sake! 

Nothing was said about the angora sheep he had strapped to his thighs. 

 

A Virgin to "Award-Winning" Cuisine

Ladies and gentlemen and the rest of you, maybe my sense of humor is slightly skewed, but this is the funniest thing I've read in months. I don't know where the Telegraph got it, but I just wanted to share it. It's a complaint letter addressed directly to Richard Branson concerning the food and entertainment on a Virgin flight. Anyone who has been subjected to airline food, EVER, will know exactly what this guy is talking about. 

"Richard...What is that white stuff?"

I saw excerpts first at The Stranger. But you've got to read the whole thing and look at the accompanying photographs. Too bad he doesn't realize what he suffered through was truly above par.
