April fools spotting!

[diesel head]

I think I may have just found my first April fool from the daily wail of all places!

Is it, or have I just made a bit of an idiot of myself!

No that is entirely true. I believe both Australia and Heathrow have them now, they see more than underwear though which is why I think male operators have to run the male ones and females the female ones.

I've already been tricked. My girlfriend rang me pretended to be really upset and told me she was pregnant. I almost died. I will have my revenge though!

I was in the US and was confronted with this scanner and didn't fancy it so I opted for the pat down. I didn't know how it worked and didn't fancy a blast of radiation or to have someone gawking at my unmentionables (even if they can't see my face)

My favorite BMW one was the 18 Series golf cart. The ultimate caddy machine.

...it would be hilarious if every now an then the machine wolf wistled or the guy viewing the scanner did!

I spotted the BMW one in the Metro this morning, it's the "BMW Magnetic Tow Technology". The opening sentence to the ad is "Why burn your fuel, when you can burn someone else's", can't find a link to it though.

Metro also has Pinanas fresh in today. Pinapple greenery on the top, below which hangs a bunch of bannana shaped pineapples according to the picturein the metro.

Might go and get myself some.....

A mate in the office just started telling us all about Phil "The Power" Taylors new aftershave that smells of whiskey. He's now in a grump after I pointed out the date to him.

Fool!
