I’m the stupid one who still travels the day before thanksgiving. To make matters worse my wife and I are flying with our twin three year-old daughters and we’re totally confused about the carry-on rules. Do you have any tips?

Dear Woody,
Although only seven weeks ago the airlines decided that on-board explosives were likely being fabricated from your carry-on deodorant and breast milk, they changed their minds.
These days the airlines have enacted the 3-1-1 rule: You are allowed to carry on liquids and gels and aerosols and explosives as long as they are in
3-ounce containers that are placed inside clear 1-quart ziplock bags. Limit one per passenger.
The following is Bossy’s List of Common Carry-on Items that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) deems OK if the passenger follows the 3-1-1 rule:
- Baby Formula
- Prescription Medication
- Hair Styling Products
- Make-up
- Toothpaste
- Screwdrivers, Pliers, and
WenchesWrenches
- “Beverages” brought from home
- Aerosol Paint
- Pressurized Cheese
- Corkscrew
- Transplant Organs
- Cigar Cutters
- Prosthetic Breasts
- Metal Scissors
- Toy Transformer Robots
- Prescription Medication
And the following is Bossy’s List of Common Carry-on Items that the Nervous Nellys over at the TSA insist should be checked with your luggage:
- Ice Picks
- Meat Cleavers
- Sabers
- Firearms
- Billy Clubs
- Cattle Prods
- and Gel Shoe Inserts
DogsPeed. Godspeed.
This Is The TSA’s List Of Everything You Can And Can’t Bring And Other Rules.
More Travel Tips Although Bossy’s Travel Tip Would Be: Stay Home.

Total choads, and I don’t mean the stumpy penis definition, I mean the total choad definition.

AG, do you seriously care about this? If you do, I’ll spank them good for you, but I feel it would be a waste of both my time and Jesus’s.
