Friday evening I was in the local hospital's ER with my friend and her daughter (the daughter was injured -- nothing serious it turns out -- in a go-carting accident). As we all sat around waiting for our turn in the ER, I noticed all the security guards were wearing gloves....blue gloves.

I began to chuckle to myself because the phrase "two by two, hands of blue" started running through my mind. I shared it with my friend, but she's not all that up on the show (just doesn't have time to watch TV) and didn't quite understand the amusement. So, I figured I'd share it here since everyone would at least find the humor in the situation. :)

I'm not a frequent airline flier, so I had much the same experience two weeks ago going through the security screenings. Even more intense, given their government uniforms and total lack of smiling!

I'll have to say that going through security next time see if it gets noticed by the Feds.

Last time I flew, there was a big sign by the customs/security checkpoint warning:

"DO NOT MAKE JOKES.
AIRPORT SECURITY DOES NOT HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR.
IRONY, SARCASM, OR DISRESPECT WILL BE TREATED SERIOUSLY."

It struck me as a very Alliance-like sign. Way-to make everyone feel safe and not-at-all threatened.

LOL! I see those security folks at the airport all the time! A few times I've seen pairs of them marching around side by side, all businesslike. I almost choked laughing the first time I saw that. They looked just like the Hands of Blue from the show.

I actually bought a box of those blue latex gloves once to see what it would be like to wear them for a while. They were uncomfortable as hell.

To the god you say is kind.
I know what's right, and it is time,
It's time to fight, and free our minds!

To bend like steel forged over fire.
We were not made to bend like reed,
Or to turn the other cheek!"

Wow, Cybersnark! That sign reminds me of a line from Men In Black.

Just printed out this for a colleague who's taking the school cricket team to the UK. He's having trouble trying to convince 20 high spirited youths that they can't piss about at the airport.

See I had a pair of blue socks I loved right up until I saw the hands of blue and realized the color was identical...haven't worn them since:)

Ok must pay closer attention at the airport. Flying is irritating enough without having your head explode
Though I must say this completely reminds me of the local florist I pass every day. They have a sign up that I'm sure originally said Now hiring Driver...but the d fell off so now it says " Now hiring RIVER" and I laugh like a nutball every day at the thought of River in a florists...

I was on a flight a couple of weeks ago where the TSA man was having a *wonderful* time getting people to put their teeny little toiletries into the approved transparent plastic bag instead of just any old plastic bag, and I flashed back to Xander in Band Candy telling Principal Snyder that Xander bet he (Snyder) never had a single date all through high school.

My mailman wears blue rubber gloves and it freaks me out every time I see him.

These are some very SHINY stories guys. Thought I’d chime in and tell one myself.

About a year ago our family doctor decided to take an early retirement so that she could spend more time with her family. This didn’t make my wife to happy because she (the doctor) was somewhat of a family friend. Anyhoo we found a new doctor quick. A nice fellow about 61 years of age. Well a couple of months ago I came down with a problem. Nothing serious but I did need to see our doctor which I almost never do. The doc looked me over ordered me some pills and asked to see me in a week. Then he said, “That won’t be problematic will it?” I almost flipped. He did say “problematic” didn’t he I thought? Anyway I said nothing but I thought of wearing my Serenity T-shirt for my next visit just to see if he would say something. Well I forgot to wear my Serenity shirt and the following week I was brought into one of the waiting rooms to wait for him. About five minutes later the nurse comes in with a pair of latex blue gloves that she promptly claps down on the counter. “My Gosh!!” I thought to myself “He’s Alliance!! And he’s found out I’m a browncoat!” The nurse then turns to me. “ Those aren’t for you.” She says with a smile. I let out a sigh of relief but now I’m gunshy about asking my doctor if his white coat is a little brownish color or blue on the inside.

Hey ZZetta13

Just be happy those gloves were not for you.
I know what they are for. A galaxy of fun, I'll tell you.

I had a Mal-moment yesterday, nosebleeds are suddenly shiny, in a trashy sort of way.

Of course there is the daily moment when I splash water in my face.
