I can handle anything an airport dishes out - I choose to make things
easier for myself. You, like everyone else, are welcome to do whatever
you want for whatever reasons make sense to you.

Oh, okay, so you're repeating the obvious?

I have no intention of recovering from anything. Remember, I'm a
hardcore stroke.

I think she's very pretty.

In that case, leave us her number.

There's only one way to comfort a new widow.

A. I'm unconcerned about airport security. I do what I'm told and get
on with my life.
B. I like a lighter load when possible, and since I choose to carry-on
my reg, titanium regs lighten the load.

Are the weight limits so low that the difference weight is that
important?

Probably not.

It depends on what the weight limits are, which depends on the aircraft,
and how many passengers are included on the manifest. In various
Central American locales, the plane I use is usually a four seater, and
I always hope my seatmates are skinny. Weight limits include the weight
of the passengers + crew (pilot). Weight limits on larger commercial
aircraft are of no concern to me - excess baggage fees are simply paid
and I move on.

Which god?

You said she was pretty, and that clearly isn't the case...

Is there anything else you were wrong about?

I think she's very pretty, especially when looking at this picture I
have here in my heart.

Yeah, since you asked, there is... that you actually know anything
relevant to anyone's situation except your own. The majority of us
around here already know this (including me), but you're too ignorant or
arrogant to admit it. As a consequence of your insensitive public
demeanor, I've reduced your rank to Jammie Five.

Dead people aren't pretty, stroke. I see that this is news to you.

If you ever get lucky again, we'll revisit the issue.

Standard Stroke Response Number One.

You're new enough, and you're dim enough, but can't you be original?

As it is, you're merely average.

LOL... demotion, that's good.

You need to develop a "J6 Filter". Occasionally there is wisdom hidden in
his brusque posts. Emphasis on "occasionally"...
