Choosy Mothers choose JIF!

I do like white Stilton. I’ll have to try the L Poacher next trip if I can find it.

Dummy just now learning about metal detectors? What a weirdo.

His big mistake was using Jif instead of Skippy.

My two least favorites peanut butter and chocolate. Peanut butter gives me GERD and chocolate burns my throat going down.

[Still Thinking]

And the Fromunda!

“You got peanut butter in my chocolate” was the beginning of Reeces Peanut Butter cups. One of my top 3 faves!

[Laslo Fripp]

A whole new meaning to chunky!

Kinda nutty if you ask me.

Must have the proper permit?

Do I just attach a copy of the second amendment?

[drjimmy]

Given New York’s lax bail laws, I’m sure he will be out of jail in a jif.

Idiotic headline. The peanut butter jars didn’t set anything off. The concealed contents did.

I prefer a lighter lube than peanut oil (but you can’t beat the aroma of his choice).

Add a little bacon grease and you can have a PB&B.

Years ago I applied for a job with the TSA and during the testing phase, you were a given a series of photos of typical luggage x-rays with instructions to pick out the pictures with certain items in them. This was a timed test so you didn't have much time to scrutinize them completely.

What many people don't realize is that every single thing in their bag is observable, even a matchbook. So there is no way in hell you're going to get away with smuggling something in your carry-on baggage......

This. It was the gun parts, not the peanut butter. It used to be teaching degrees were the easiest degree to obtain, but I’m guessing it’s “Journalism.”

Son’s best friend was a Secret Service agent and carries wherever he goes. He checked in at Omaha for a direct flight to DC only to have a stewardess to ask him if he was the armed SS on the flight. He said he was planning on taking a nap but since she said so other passengers could hear, he didn’t feel he could safely sleep.

Years ago, I put fudge made and sold by Mount Angel Abbey, Oregon, in my carry-on luggage. It was seen in the x-ray machine as an impervious object, looking metallic. Once the TSA officer figured out what was he was seeing on x-ray, he looked puzzled and asked me where I got it.

When I said that I had just bought it in the airport gift shop, right beside the security station, he just replaced the fudge in my bag and waved me through.
