I wish I could bring back more than 2 bottles

Since we are going off topic here...here's another one.

I was traveling for work from Chicago to Detroit. I was carrying wine with me which is no big deal. I had six bottles in my wine bag and was very conscious not to have my wine opener in the pocket.

I go through the scanner and hear the security agent calling into his agent (at an excited state) "Get the Captain, Get the Captain!". I'm just standing there, pretty confused mind you.

Captain comes over and unbeknownst to me, I had a box of wine openers (a dozen) in the bottom of the bag. I started laughing. The Captain asked me why I had them and I handed him my business card which stated that I was in the business. The little security guard had promotions, citations, hero status coming his way I'm sure (in his own mind). He is getting ready to "take me in" when the Captain said "So if I want to order a nice, light bodied red wine in a restaurant what would I order". The security guards bubble is now gone. He's no longer a hero. I went into my briefcase and handed him a fact sheet for Pinot Noir and told him that any producer would do.

They kept the openers and I made my flight with the wine.

LOL!
