Now aren’t you glad you wore clean underwear?

The scanner is harmful to Bleeb. He’s staying far away.

Duh, what’s an appendix???

Your appendix is fine but you should do something about those hemorrhoids.

Energize…

If it wasn’t, at that setting it will be inflamed and slightly charred

Is Bleeb on vacation? Absent 2 days in a row.

“Nope, we can’t really see your appendix… but if you stay in there just a leeeetle bit longer, we can burn that thing off your back.”

Love reading TSA stories. The extent of their intellect is amazing. Amazingly limited.

Bleeb’s still missing? :(

Wow free physical at the gate. Genius!!!

Wouldn’t that be something!!!

No but your belly-button ring looks infected…

“Check to see if my pride is in there. I think I may have swallowed it.”

Can you teleport me to Tahiti?

I’m worried about Bleep! Has he gone home? He has gathered enough info on his study of it s, to make a decision about us! I hope it’s favorable.

I went through one of those backscatter scanners 2 days ago at RDU and one yesterday at MIA on our way to Antarctica by way of Buenos Aires. Those things are a bit creepy. Gee, I hope Bleeb is getting the best of care . . . whatever that might entail.

Good idea

While working at my last job at the jail, they installed a pair of body scanners similar to the ones used in airports. One time I did joke “Two to beam down.” when an inmate had to be scanned. That got a few laughs.
