Yup. You may want to not advertise your admiration so openly.
Deciding who is the lamest in that particular story is a nearly impossible task.
I’m a fierce proponent of free speech, and that line is one of my favorites from a favorite movie, but I think I might be taken aback if I saw a fellow passenger with that on his shirt.
Probably harmless, and thoughtless. But what if the passenger had intended it to be a morbid foreshadowing of what was to come, and he was part of a twisted, nefarious plot?
I’m sure forcing him to change to a Hello Kitty shirt would stop the plot in its tracks.
ETA: Simply put, if he’s planning to go on a murderous rampage aboard the plane, it’s unlikely the plan calls for using a particular shirt as a weapon.
If he’d just left off that dying part…
On a road trip through the south, I visited a random church for a Sunday morning service, and got handed an adhesive nametag. Printed at the top was “Hello, my name is:” …
Yes, I did. No one got it.
But it would make the passengers more complacent on the way to their doom.
As a weapon, no, but saying that announcing a bad action means the bad action wasn’t planned makes no sense. If that were the case, we should insist that ALL passengers wear that shirt, and protect everyone.
No True Scotsman (terrorist) would announce his intentions, right?
He starts some interesting and entertaining threads. I guess he’s just got to control himself on airplanes.
Good thing the pilot didn’t have six fingers
They missed a golden opportunity to make everyone happy.
Give him a post-it to put over “Die”, with an alternate word.
“Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father. Prepare to FLY!”
Look, he loved his father. If the sons of bitches are going to kill people’s fathers, they have to expect revenge.
We’re beggars and blighters and ne’er do-well cads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Aye, but we’re loved by our mommies and dads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
I have a “Lost” T-Shirt that depicts (among other things) the plane breaking apart in midair. I wear it occasionally, and once I happened to have it on the same day I was going to be flying. On the way to the airport it occurred to me that there might be some kind of reaction (I was thinking more about security than other passengers) so I pulled another shirt on over it. It would probably have been fine, but I figured I didn’t need the hassle.
Don’t you know that “Die” is German for “The”? How is “Prepare to The” scary? [/Sideshow Bob]
He couldn’t just turn the shirt inside out? In my high school if someone came in with an offensive shirt that’s all they had to do. Turn it inside out. I used to wear a Marlboro Fleece (my dad had a lot of Marlboro miles and it was a nice fleece). A handful of times a teacher would have an issue with it and just make me put a piece of tape over the small Marlboro logo on the sleeve.
LOL!
logic!! cut it out!
Why hasn’t the real Inigo Montoya shown up in this thread yet? Hmm very suspicious…
