This made me chuckle. I think this is exactly the kind of thing I would think of in the middle of a swirl of emotions. The office I worked in got flooded after a few days of intense rainfall, everything ruined and lost because the sewers backed up too. The first thing I thought of when I heard this was "Well I guess I'll need to buy a new coffee cup."

I'm not trying to suggest that my experience is in any way comparable to what down on 9/11, just that your brain thinks of funny little things like this in some situations.

I play the pipes, so I wear a kilt frequently. Going commando isn't really cold. It's actually much more uncomfortable when it's hot: sweat drips down your leg, and the kilt takes swamp crotch to a new level.

In the cold, tall socks keep your legs warm from the knees down and you can wear layers on your top half. The lower is a different story, and I have seen people wear running tights or leggings on cold days. As long as they're dark in color it's actually not that visible, since there's not that much exposed skin between the socks and kilt. What's far worse though is fingers, because you can't play pipes with gloves on.

Rubbing sensitive bits on the kilt is pretty unpleasant in any weather, as the wool is not as soft as it seems when it's rubbing on your junk. I long ago stopped going commando and now wear compression shorts, which solves all of the above problems.

Name tags are different than employee ID. One is so the passengers know who to complain about, the other is to get you through security and into areas of the airport where passengers aren't allowed.

Maybe they say that, but I sure as hell don't.

Do you work for the airport or an airline?
