  Sorry, I just have to share this.

  Friend of the family just flew back home to California with
assorted gifts from local family members, including a full sized
deep-fryer. Not one of those little FryBaby dinguses, a big honkin'
full sized fucking DEEP-FRYER.

  It wouldn't fit into the luggage, so it sat on her son's lap.

  On the airplane.

  With detachable cord inside.

  Now, you can't take NAIL CLIPPERS on board, but you can take a
DEEP-FRYER????

  HOW MANY KINDS OF MAYHEM CAN BE COMMITTED WITH A FUCKING
DEEP-FRYER?????

OK, thanks for listening, I'm still shaking though.


What airline - what route ? 

  Southwest Airlines, Phoenix to Oakland.

I'm astonished that any airline would allow that on a passenger's lap of
all places ! I'd normally expect anything like that to be put in the
hold.


  That's what I thought, but real life is often weirder than fiction
