Another AFoC drive-by:  Flight delayed 4+ hours and my cigars are in my checked baggage.  Oh well, time to go cash in my lunch voucher.  Hope all is well in banterland.
That sucks. Safe travels.
Danke, as I'm in Munich at the moment.
Getting tempted by the Cohiba's and Partegas in Duty-Free?
Not at all.  I just walked past.
So spendy...sure is nice to see all those CCs in person tho!
I just don't have it like that, at the moment.  Last minute flight was $2500.  No cigars for a while.
You should have checked on a discount ticket. My brother got big discounts a week apart for his twins a week apart. First week was his MIL and 7 days later was our father, the airlines are usually pretty good with these situations.
Yeah, but the Italians suck.  My brother had asked and they basically told him, tough shit.  I feel like I've been gone for a month or more.  It's been a looooooooong week.
Some[edit] airlines are doing away with bereavement fares. Basic greed. They are glad to charge you extra for that last minute ticket, tho.
that was about the only good thing I could say about the airlines, sheesh on them now.

Just curious, but how did they ever 'prove' that you were, in fact, seeking a legitimate bereavement fare?  Couldn't you just use that for every trip?  Or at least once or twice per airline?  Bad karma for sure, just curious...
Death certificate?
They used to take your word for it......not sure now. But like Joe said....bad karma.
Bad Karma for sure, imagine how my brother felt asking 7 days apart, it sure helped to fly his twins down twice especially since they were CB's neighbors at the time.

Off to Home Depot to get a new garbage disposal.  Guess the seal gave out last night, water everywhere.  Good times!  Seems easier to just get a new one than try to fix the old one.  Really easy to do according to the internet which never, ever holds true.  The old one came out easily enough last night so we'll see.  Back in a bit.  May even stop for a liverwurst sandwich and a beer.

Liverwurst is bad for your breath, have a cigar!

it's not so much the liverwurst, as the raw red onion, that does it....
