As soon as we get this next issue to the printer, WE… ARE… OUTTA HERE (for our holiday vacation)! And you can tell Mercury employees are ready to dash out the door, hop on the plane, see their loved ones, and… OH, WHAT’S THIS THEN?

An unattended suitcase? Apparently belonging to Sarah Mirk? Huh. That’s weird. Why would she leave it all alone like that? Any mischief maker could come along and place something inside her suitcase that would make life very difficult for her at the airport security check… and life very interesting for a TSA agent.

Huh. I wonder what someone might put in there? Hmmmmmm?

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. Wouldn’t want to get her arrested. But of course, if the TSA were to open the bag because something liquid was accidentally left in there (like, say, a full water bottle), the resultant public unveiling of the porn stash inside would be, well, embarrassing…

  2. I put a few ham sandwiches into everyone’s carry on bags. “Mr. TSA agent, it is a ham sandwich. Eat some to prove you are not a terrorist.””

    Ham the best anti terrorist weapon. It turns out if you blow yourself up and ham get mixed up with your parts they will not let you into Paradise.
