Maybe we should all wear rope belts like Jethro and Ellie Mae.

There was a barker, in ORF I think, "Even if you're wearing a rope as a belt, it's gotta come off!"

:rolleyes:

You... ASK for the NOS?

Wow.

Maybe someone has their cell phone number duct-taped to their chest; you never know when a hottie might be working in the viewing booth. :p

I get barked at frequently about belts. Thing is, I bought a belt at REI that's got a plastic buckle and never, ever tuck my shirt in through the TSA checkpoint (even in a suit, which has drawn some confused looks). One time in particular stands out when a barker shouted in my general direction as I was getting my bags on the line, "ARE YOU WEARING A BELT SIR?".

I continued doing what I was doing and totally ignored him. He barked one more time, then I guess he just got bored and went back to what he was doing. I'm sure the mystery swabbing that took over five freaking minutes to complete once I went through the WTMD was totally unrelated. :rolleyes:

Untuck your shirt. Move on.
