Outlaw fishing rods and only outlaws will have fishing rods...

[Wissa]

They'll get my snooker cue when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

[demlosers]

EU officials are banning air passengers from taking potential weapons such as fishing rods, snooker cues, ice skates, ski poles and skateboards onto planes.

Are pens and pencils next? Come fly the naked airlines.

[aruanan]

What about a ring of keys? They can be threaded onto a belt to make a really good flail.

[demlosers]

Officials from Portugal, Sweden, Finland and Denmark said they would rather cancel flights than agree to the presence of armed guards, who they said could put the lives of passengers and crew at risk.

I guess you guys don't get to fly to the U.S., say goodbye to your money?
What? You dudes are going to reconsider your objection -- I thought so. Haha...

EU Bans Fishing Rods in Aircraft

ELIZABETH! I caught myself a big one at 35,000ft!!!

Now I have to pay my dues for the lunker of a lifetime, but it was worth it! LoL's!

[aomagrat]

It looks like they're banning everything but terrorists.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

What the airline industry should do is just sell tickets, but not actually transport anyone anywhere.

And anyone who refused to buy a certain number of tickets per year would be prosecuted for being a terrorist sympathizer.

[joesnuffy]

The EU (antiChrist) laws must be

HARMONIZED....

if that aint 'new speak' I'll eat my hat...

[Buck W.]

Something fishy here. I think the author's a Pisces, probably working for scale.

[Gritty]

I can kill somebody with my bare hands.

Does this mean I have to fly wearing a straight-jacket?

[KarlInOhio]

If I have a concealed carry permit can I at least bring my pocket fisherman?

[Petronski]

What about bait? Some of those international flights serve sushi.

[decimon]

Never happen in the U.S. Too many fly fishers.
