    I'm just back from a 3½ hour round trip to the Italian consultae, to sign a single piece of paper in front of another human being.

    I forgot they had a security check point, so when they did the bag search I had to warn them there was a pen knife one of the pockets.

    He took the pen knife out, and then spent longer than I was happy with checking through that pocket, clearly prodding something in there, then a look of slight disgust and my bag was returned and I went in.

    Turns out that I'd entirely forgotten there was a foil triangle of Laughing Cow soft cheese that I put in there last weekend as an emergency thing for my kid, and had forgotten to take out. there was a finger shaped divot in the triangle, with just enough seepage for a visual confirmation of contents.

    • Cheesus Christ!! ;)

      I was expecting a more torrid ending, but not bad at all...      OBBTKN
    • Just how much public transport have you taken in the last week with that rancid cheese on your person?Continuity
    • heh, both :) @cont - I'd not used thisd particular bag since the weekend, hence not noticing. I usually have my gay little leather satchel for work..Nairn
    • @OB - I was more concerned I might've left something hashishy in there, despite it being supremely unlikely :\Nairn
    • Also, La vache qui rit?
      I'm ... stunned.
      Poor kid.
      (Full confession: I loved it when I was wee)      Continuity
    • Not trying to cheese-shame you, or anything.Continuity
    • @Nairn, yes, the truth is, the "brown thing in the wrong place" was my first candidate too :)OBBTKN
    • lol she actually hates it, but it was her that wanted to buy it, so I've been trying to offload it on her when she's hungry. She's more a mature Cheddar type :)Nairn
    • Amusing thing is - my actual sig bears no resemblance to the one in my passport, which is a shit mutated continuance of one I made when I was a teenager.Nairn
    • Written signatures as proof seem to me like such a stupid archaic proof. They've seemed that way since I was able to forge my Dad's sig for school... .Nairn
    • I was sat in the consulate wainting room, practising it on a pad. I turned to see a neighbour watch me do this. He didn't say anything though.Nairn
    • Omertà culture runs deep, I guess...Nairn
