“What if I said I have an anxiety disorder and need to carry a Sig Sauer 9mm for emotional support? After all, it’s a beautiful gun, I spent a lot of money on it, and holding it makes me happy!”

EVEN THEN, I could not tell you, “Madam, you are not fit to fly with pigs.”

another shotgun might be useful

I agree. You don't want an escaped inmate to hurt Piper.

Buy two and bring me one. I'll pay you back! Bill and Tom have taken the shotgun class at camp.

Better notify Salamander that no snakes for emotional support will be allowed. I’m sure that she’d have a few choice words about that.

That's okay, I'd rather drive.

“After some of the un-showered, obese slobs I’ve had seated next to me (and spilling into my seat), a pot-bellied pig next to me on a plane would be a welcome change.”

Hey, no kidding! For some peculiar reason almost ANYTIME I fly I get saddled with a 400 pound, fetid-breathed pile of body odor in the seat next to me. It’s a conspiracy, I tell you!

Anoreth and I don’t like to miss out on any kind of absurdity. When you consider the family life we have shared, there’s a clear indication of our state of mind ... although, of course, correlation is not causation ...

New marketing slogan—Airlines now Muslim Free!

I need to board with a 1,000 pound sow...it gives me emotional comfort. Especially anticipating a TSA goon checking and fondling one.

How does this square with the First Couple taking two planes on vacation?

need to carry a Sig Sauer 9mm
In July of 1970 (17 yrs old) I flew from Seattle to Anchorage for a job and carried my cased Winchester Model 70 onto the jet plane and stored it in the stew's broom closet after they checked to make sure it was unloaded. No metal detectors, no pat down - times have changed.

That was awfully nice of you. I grew up on a farm, after all.

I have nothing against pigs personally.
I find them and other livestock quite tasty:)

“Generally, you must permit a passenger with a disability to be accompanied by a Sig Sauer 9mm..”

See how easy it is to work for the DOT with the help of the “Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Air Travel: Draft Technical Assistance Manual”?

"What if I said I have an anxiety disorder and need to carry a Sig Sauer 9mm for emotional support?"

In some circles, this is known as, "the pig"...

...and indeed, it can give one tremendous emotional support.

She claims that the pot-bellied pig is her service animal.

I was unaware pot-bellied pigs can be service animals...

I guess I learn something new and bizarre every day in Hope and Change America...
