Seat recline

Some aircrafts, like older Boeings,  sometimes come with emergency exit seats that don’t recline, even if the seatback would not get in the way. A 10mm wrench (make sure to get a short one, due to Airport security restrictions) resolves that problem. As with the lavatories, make sure you leave your seat like you found it would like to find it.

Protectionism

Millions for the incompetent challenged Detroit car makers? Billions for those greedy, irresponsible poor banks? Interest freeze on mortgages or car dealers buying out Opel?

Now here's a new concept: German Federal Police announced today that their Blacklist of sites that contain Child porn will only contain sites hosted outside the European Union.

That surely takes the cake as far as protectionism go. Happy filming ;-P

I could try to blog, write or talk all my life, and I would never come up with something remotely as funny. Or Scary.
