My Mom wanted to make a Chirstmas picture card out of it.

A t-shirt emblazoned with one of the most memorable lines from the classic adventure film The Princess Bride caused a furore on a Qantas flight last week.
Wynand Mullins boarded a plane bound for Auckland on Sunday with “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die” printed on the front of his top.
While some fellow fliers recognised that the line was from the swashbuckling 1987 film The Princess Bride, it went over the heads of other passengers, who told cabin crew they felt threatened by the t-shirt’s message.
Mr Mullins told Fairfax New Zealand: "The flight attendant said to me: 'Are you able to remove it because some of the passengers are quite intimidated by it'. I thought it was all a bit silly. The person next to me was laughing, because they knew the movie.
“The whole experience was a bit over the top, but also a bit comical."

That was epic fail.
“Inconcievable!”
Exactly!
My Mom wanted to make a Chirstmas picture card out of it.
“I used to, then learned that Buttercup married scum-sucking sean penn...watta buzz-kill!”
Who can believe Princess Buttercup married the king of R.O.U.S’s!
Love the name, that story was one of my favorites as a kid.
So boarding an airplane wearing my t shirt with a very realistic life size snake printed on it is a bad idea?
I have a t-shirt I got for Christmas. It just says “Clue” and has all six “weapons” in a row. They are the REAL weapons, not the pieces of the game.
I chose not to wear it on a recent flight to Oregon.
I don’t think void meant those Brazilians. But that is just a guess.
I can identify. It’s a story every child should read.
If they were worried, they could have put up a defense. Even without a knife, they could tear a page from the in-flight magazine and then tear something in the shape of a paper gun, which is known to give even school administrators the willies. If they wanted something stronger, they could use one of the cardboard inserts.
Those passengers must have a very low ceiling.
But if they were all female, what a story it might be............
They should have sent in the brute squad to ensure he could sit in his seat without having to deal with this PC garbage.
I have a printed T-shirt that reads, “I brought sexy back”. Well, my heart docs and the nurses loved it. ;>)
I love it!
