Fringe Benefits
En route to Edinburgh from Los Angeles, Fringe comedian Karen Loftus accidentally discovered a good way for terrorists to smuggle bulky, potentially lethal, electrically operated equipment past airline security checks. Blonde Karen and her blonde manager found airport officials were entranced by their hand luggage props for Karen's show. They were carrying large amounts of costume jewelry and marital aids form one of Karen's sponsors, Toys in Babeland. Officials tittered intently at the latter, while sternly warning Karen about losing the former. They thus missed another element of Karen's show, a full-size cordless power drill. |
