It struck me at the airport yesterday. I wonder what would happen if I tried to board the plane carrying a dead rabbit over each shoulder… “Hey, I’m allowed two carrions!” ---

Carrion Baggages, Isn’t that a Terry Pratchett novel? Do you stuff your travel clothes inside the dead rabbits? Yeeuuch! Doesn’t that smell? 🙂 ---

Two rabbits would probably fit under the seat in front of you, so I guess you wouldn’t be running afoul of the space limitations. Two wildebeests, though? Wouldn’t try it. ---

what if you put the rabbits in your pants? then you’d have all kinds of extra space under the seat ---

If I took a dead duck, then would I run a fowl with the space limitations? And could I put my ticket on its bill? I know I couldn’t get on board with an emu–everyone knows they’re **flightless** birds. ---

Absolute out of left-field hijack: Reminds me of the TV version of “Alien Nation,” and the names the Immigration guys gave the Newcomers: Carrie Onbag Kenny Bunkport Dan Delion etc. End of left field hijack. Sir Rhosis
