Bedtime Story: 1-in-4 Grown Men Travel With a Stuffed Animal
ABC News ^ | August 24, 2010 | SCOTT MAYEROWITZ

Posted on 08/24/2010 2:48:59 PM PDT by libstripper

When Scott Hardy hits the road, he always makes sure to leave room in his suitcase for his stuffed animal.

That's right, the 34-year-old businessman always travels with Barkley, a stuffed beagle. No, it's not for his two daughters. No he doesn't sleep with a nightlight and no he isn't smuggling drugs.

Seven years ago Hardy's then girlfriend, now wife, gave him the doggie as a reminder of her.

"I travel enough that it's a nice reminder of home," said Hardy who runs an online legal notice company, Top Class Actions.

Does a hearse driver get to use the HOV lane?

Yes, but the cars in the procession following the hearse need the gorilla if single occupied. Sun glasses, a hat, and a big cigar for the stuffed gorilla will help as well.

“gave him the doggie as a reminder of her.”

She has got to be a real dog.

I travel with a stuffed squirrel because my daughter puts it in my bag. It gives us something to talk about when I call home, and she gets to hear about squirrely adventures when I get home. You got a problem with that?

Yeah...I do...why don't you put a GI Joe in your bag and talk to her about all the brave American's that are guarding her from the president of the US and all his mooslim buddies from trying to kill her Daddy and her....?????

I'm sure if fits nicely in his suitcase...right on top of his frickin' Meryl Streep movie collection!

I notice he also takes "Barkley" on the annual "Guys" trip. I bet the boys have a FABULOUS time.

I spend 100 nights a year in hotels. If I brought a stuffed animal, I'd have to leave the vodka at home.

CSI did an episode about that:

It's one thing everybody remembers about the show.

It was a case of "Furry Vengeance" indeed.

One of my “grown men” acquaitances travels with a zipped backed teddy bear too.He is a twisted individual. Inside teddy is a Colt Officers model .35 cal semi auto pistol and two mags. Now how twisted is that? He must have had a very strange childhood.

What BS! If anybody believes anything printed by the media this should cure that delusion.

you sound just like my husband! I bet your daughter looks forward to hearing about the squirrel’s adventures when you get home! It helped my daughter connect to her daddy when he’d get back after a week of flying...our older boys had done the same thing when they were young, too. Made the stress of military and airline life a little more “humane.”

Blessings!

I’ve never heard of anyone doing this. Sounds like bunk to me.
