Man-Boy vs. Logic: Vol 3 or The Unlabelled Suspect White Powder in my Suitcase

So this was in my Suitcase

After being in Ireland for 8 days I was joined by Husband last Friday. Conversation below is from Monday when we were packing our suitcase to head back to Zurich.

Husband picks up the offending article above.

Husband: 'Eh hun, what's this about?'

GBM: 'It's my protein shake powder'

Silly Husband, I told him I've started taking protein shakes for training. It must be his forgetums acting up again.

Husband: 'No I know what it is, I mean what part of you thought this was a good idea?'

GBM: 'Granted I didn't use as much as I envisaged but my intentions were in the right place.'

Husband looks at me and shakes his head.

Husband: 'No hun, what part of you thought that having an unlabelled suspect white powder in your suitcase was a good idea?'

I stare at him, mouth opened with an 'I didn't think of that' look on my face.

GBM: 'Eh...er.....em'

Husband: 'Sweetie?'

GBM: The part of me that is obsessed with Disney movies and My Little Pony* didn't think about this, the part of me that thinks everyone is good and that of course a lunch box of white powder is clearly protein shake mixture and not drugs! Shit, what if I get stopped by customs?'

Husband: 'It will be fine, they will just test the substance but it's a lot of unwanted hassle'

I bang my head against the wall.

Husband: 'In future though just no, in fact I'm packing your suitcase next time'

I didn't get stopped in the end and all was good in the enchanted world of my innocent view point but you live and you learn.

*I'm talking about the 2010 reboot 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' and before you make fun, I dare you to watch a few episodes and not love. Bronies forever!

  2. Considering my hubby once tried to take a screwdriver through airport security in his hand luggage, I can certainly sympathize with your husband lol.
    Ever since it is like he has an alert on him, gets stopped every time. Was almost funny until he had to completely unpack the travel bag to prove the house keys were not some deadly weapon as we left Bangkok

  5. Yea the mysterious white powder in the bowl there might seem a bit odd. But really who carries their white powder drugs like that anyway? Aren't they usually in cellophane bags or something covered in coffee grounds?

    1. Yes maybe by being so blasé about it customs would be all like 'pfft it's clearly not drugs'
