On a recent trip I bought a bottle of XO Cognac while I was away and
had drunk about half of it before the time came to go home. I realised
I wouldn't be allowed to take the remaining half bottle back with me
on the flight, but found a way around that problem. I saved a few of
the Actimel pro-biotic yogurt drinks we had for breakfast and filled
six of them with the remaining alcohol. They detected them at the
security checkpoint, but because each bottle was 100ml in size I was
allowed to take them all on board the aircraft.


You are a deeply sad person.


I know, but when you pay US$125 for a nice bottle of XO you really don't
want it confiscated by airport security.


Ah, I don't pay that, even for decent brandy.
