Back from Asia I'm Baaaaaaaaack... What's up, MySpacers? I have a travel story, but first, I want to say that I'm going to clean out my garage. I'm going to ebay a few things. The motorcycle is going. It's sad, but I rarely get to ride it. It needs a home where it's appreciated. I also came across the only Fat Tony's Pizzeria car-topper (the magnetic sign you see on top of pizza delivery vehilces) known to be in existence. Also that 1999 Saturn that I already sold on ebay, but some dufus thought it would be awesome to bid and not want make payment. When all that goes, I'm trading in my Hummer H2 in on a new car that I already have picked out. I'm very excited, and between you and me, I think I deserve it So I was on the WWE Asia/Australia Tour. We fly from California to Bangkok, perform in Bangkok, then fly to Singapore. As I'm going through customs to get into Singapore, my purse goes through the x-ray machine. The security guy tells me they have to look through my bag. I didn't see anyone else get stopped, so I figured nothing good was coming out of this. A couple other security people come over. They pull a bullet shell casing out of my purse. Let me explain that. I think I mentioned a few months back that my uncle passed away when I was in Europe. I didn't get to go to the funeral, and because he had a lengthy career in the U.S. Air Force, they gave him a 21 gun salute at his funeral. My brother collected the spent shell casings from the salute and had them engraved with his name and the date he passed. I appreciated that, and I keep it with me. Well Singapore Airport security wants to know why I have a spent bullet in my purse. They pull me aside, and pretty soon, police officers come up with some kind of investigator. Meanwhile WWE office folk realize that something fishy is going on, so they step aside with me. The investigator questioned me for a while. They really asked me the same questions over and over. The whole deal took about 30 minutes. Everyone was very polite, and I absolutely understand they have a reason to be cautious, but the whole thing was quite surreal. They ended up confiscating the shell casing, which I hope WWE can get back from the Singapore government, and sending me on my way. The country was beautiful. Very tropical. It reminded me of Hawaii. Anyhoo, I'm back in one piece, and I'm gonna try to get back on a normal sleep schedule. So... Later Double Baked Potaters... |


. I'll let you know when it all gets thrown on ebay.
