I find it hard to see humor in your list. It is all to real. Especialy the
air port entry. The boys in black droped in to see me from the local FCC
office to explain to me why it took them so long. I wiped out all
communications for 75 miles and they had to use the phone lines to
triangulate my location. They lack a healthy side of humor.
