I will post this in one of the general rooms too, but I figured I would give it to my fellow LEO's too.

I got this e-mailed to me the other day. Thought it was pretty funny.

The instructions said to use this when you have a person on a plane/train who insists on trying to read your laptop.

-Step #1: Open this e-mail
-Step #2: Make sure annoying dude can read your screen
-Step #3: Open the link
-Step #4: Close your eyes and tilt your head back. (Recite a prayer if you feel the want or need to do so)

Next time I travel this might see some airtime. LOL

Now this is all in good fun...so lets not turn this thread into a rant about sterotypes and etc...

Can't think of a better way to meet plenty of angry looking LEOs. Starting with your friendly Sky Marshal.

As a very frequent flyer. I can tell you if you were sitting next to me and pulled a stunt like this. I would give you an elbow in the face and throat. Pull the laptop away from you and strip the battery. Then beat you to a bloody pulp.

Other then that funny as h3ll.

Haha....that gave me a chuckle, but seriously, if someone pulled that and I happened to be near enough to read it or walking by, I'd yank that person out of his seat and down to the floor he would go. Hard. Hard enough to damage something.

Its funny, but at the same time, its not. I guess it depends on the context, ya know? But like I said, being in the military for going on 7 years, it gave me a chuckle.

aw, that's terrible! (LMAO too!)

I just about attacked my own computer when that came on! Does anyone know what the writing says?

Umm... I've got a technical question....

How are you supposed to open it and get to the website while on a plane? That'd be a seriously strong network card. Unless you plan on hooking up to the Skyphone. I don't think many pranks are worth those phone charges. Or, to your cell phone, But, I don't know if those work while a plane's in flight. Can a cell pick up towers at 30K feet?

I can see it on a bus or something...

Otherwise, you'd have to start it before you boarded and leave it on while the plane boarded, took off, drinks and peanuts served, etc...
