Idiotic Airline Rules. And How Sam's Hair Caught Fire.

Absurd travel rules are getting people all around the world worked up. One that astounded me was the rule about not more than 100ml liquids on carry-on luggage. I can think of a million reasons this will inconvenience people more than keep them safe, and I'm sure you can too.

What amazed me even more was the utter idiocy of the bloody American government. Thankfully, it seems like Americans think so too.

(By the way, I checked out "idiocy" on a dictionary. It means "extreme mental retardation". I heart vocabulary)

On another note, I've sucessfully stayed away from smoking for 3 months now. Going clubbing/drinking rarely affects the urge to smoke, but when it does, I just think of a time when I felt awful after a smoke and the urge goes away. So if you're thinking of quitting, try that and let me know if it works!

Speaking of drinking, there was a farewell 'do for Samuel who has gone off to Singapore. We went drinking at Decanter in Hartamas. Toward the end of the night, Reyhan decided to buy Sam a Flaming Lamboghini. So the glasses got on fire, and Sam was sucking away, when the tower of glasses suddenly swayed and crashed to the floor. That was fine, until I saw that his hair had caught fire! Holy shit, I was so dead scared (read: not too sober) that I got rooted to the spot.
Stay tuned for the video of the incident.

Later, I was disgusted at myself for not getting into action to put the fire out. Poor Sam. His beloved hair smelt burnt. We spent some time in the boys' toilet helping him by being indignant and making soothing sounds.

What a way to leave.
