Los Angeles Airport



Today was one of those long days. I was up before dawn to catch a 6:30 AM flight to Los Angeles for a meeting. The meeting adjourned at about 3:30, so that left plenty of time to hang around until the 6:50 PM flight back to Sonoma County.

What to do...... What to do.....

My business companion and I decided to just hang out at an eatery to have a bite and perhaps a glass (or two) of wine. We found an eatery/bar inside LAX once we got our boarding passes, cleared security, found our gate, etc.

We sat down and ordered some food. The waiter brought us bundled eating utensils wrapped in a napkin. I unwrapped the napkin to discover that the KNIFE was plastic, but the FORK was metal.

WTF?????????

I know we live in a hyper-alert-post-9-11-world, but couldn't a metal fork pose just as much potential danger as a metal knife? Why not a plastic knife AND a fork? Why just a PLASTIC knife? A person could drive a fork into somebody's neck just as easily as a knife? WHERE IS THE LOGIC?????? If they are going to allow metal forks beyond security, THEN GIVE ME BACK MY WINE OPENER AND HAND SANITIZER YOU CONFISCATED FROM MY PURSE!

The irony was just too much and I took a picture of it.

Isn't life strange, at times there is no logic to anything!
