I'll be travelling with a skeleton...a baby-sized skeleton around 24 inches long. I've got it in bright red, gory looking, wax...didn't have time to cast it here. It's in sections...the arms and legs...torso and the skull, all separately packed. I'd love to be near the monitor when my bag passes through the Xray machine. It's realistic in every way...certainly look that way as it whizzes past. Except for the skull...it has a decidedly manaical looking expression. My passport says I'm born in Iraq...so naturally I WOULD be taking dead babies around as luggage.
JEEZUS...It's BABY JESUS!!!
Here at the airport they open your bags and root around before you get to the ticket counter...and everybody in the joint is Catholic. I have GOT to keep a straight face as they unwrap the bones...especially the skull...
"Did you enjoy your visit with us and where the hell did you get THIS souvenir???
