30 pounds of scissors would make a GREAT Father's Day gift! Or maybe 300 Swiss Army knives?

None of those ebay links are working for me.

On another note... My dad had toe nail clippers and nose hair trimmers confiscated. Don't tell me someone has them now?

Hey, Warty!

I don't know how much publicity this has had around the nation, but it looks like there's a very good chance that our Gov. (Ghey Davis) is going to be re-called by a popular petition.

Since he's practically bankrupted the state catering to big-money Enron types, etc. this would come as a welcome relief to most of us.

Even the Democrats wanna see him drop dead.

When I worked for the TSA (thousands standing around) I took a guy refillable lighter away because they were not allowed. I'm takling about the Zippo type you use fluid in.
It cost him like 70 bucks and was gold plated.
he was plenty P.Oed, but de rulz was de rulz
stupid as they may be..
I got a few stories to tell about that job...

Here's a link to what the seller is putting up on eBay (don't know if it is actually Gray Davis):

Well, I didn't mean the actual governor in my title...I edited it to put "government" but it only shows in small letters at the top of my post.

Check this out:

My dad told me the guy that confiscated his toe nail clippers felt horrible about it.
I mean come on now.. TOE NAIL CLIPPERS?

"I've got some toe nail clippers here and I'm not afraid to use them!!"

"SIR!! Please drop those toe nail clippers or we'll be forced to threaten you with our 1" Swiss Army Knife!"

I had an old LLBean Swiss Army knife that was confiscated recently. Cost me $25 for a new one. I should have put it on my expense report.
