Funny ad
While my mum was here we took the opportunity to go to Toronto a couple of times. Right by Lake Ontario we bumped into this funny advertising for an AM radio station. I’m not sure if this policy ever existed but it made for a clever ad. With two little ones it doesn’t even cross my mind to take any knitting with me on the plane, anyway!
Go here if you’re curious to see the rest of the campaign.

Enquanto minha mãe estava aqui a gente aproveitou para ir badalar na cidade algumas vezes. Bem perto do lago Ontário a gente esbarrou com esse anúncio bem engraçado de uma estação de rádio local. O anúncio diz: “É permitido levar agulhas de tricô no avião [se que acompanhadas do fio] – entenda o que não faz sentido”. Eu não sei se algum dia essa regra foi verdadeira, mas rendeu um anúncio bem esperto, apesar de que traduzido para o português perde um pouco da graça. De qualquer forma, com duas crianças pequenas nem me passa pela cabeça levar tricô para fazer no avião!
Vai aqui se você estiver curioso para ver o resto da campanha.
This is funny. I am not at all sure that I trust airline security anyway. We recently brought a bag through the security check that had 6 juice boxes and 6 milk boxes in it (we had packed them for the kids). We had thought we were going to check the bag – but the airline person said we could bring it as a carry on. It was only as it went through the x-ray machine that I remembered the drinks. No one noticed them, though, and we happily carried them onto the plane. We were WAY over our fluid limit!!

I love this picture… so funny…
@Maribeth: I wonder in which airport you were… Here in Montreal, it happened to me twice to forget that I had something liquid in my cabin-luggage… and I can tell you they saw it and after that they watched everything…
