I have heard that the only thing stinkier than a skunk is a dead skunk.

See if you can smuggle some shooters on the plane. You know, those little bottle shots.
It will make things much more fun on the plane over.

You can rent a trap from the SPCA. They l ike peanut butter Since you know so much about it I'll leave it up to you. And why do they deserve to live? Do they pay taxes? Do they help the environment? No. The free load and expel noxious gases into the atmosphere with their stink butts. They dig up and kill plants that could have helped reduce greenhouse gases and in turn the plants rot and fill the sky with greenhouse gases of their own. On top of that they eat animal babies and destroy the nests of ground nesting birds. And they carry rabies. They are one of the most likely of animals to have rabies. Skunks MUST DIE!!!!  They are kinda cute, though.
And they have sharp teeth, covered in rabies.

Definitely if you drank it! Definitely don't mix it with bleach!
I know it's severely toxic to aquatic animals, but it's found in most fertilizers and animal piss.

Meeting at the airport kinda sucks. Thankfully when I would pick Bec up I always had my truck. Bec's car wasn't quite as accommodating. I bet that in a pinch those "family" bathrooms would work.

I bet it will pass pretty quick. You two will be so busy making eyes at each other.
Plus you will be headed on a sweet trip. That always makes the time out not as bad.
The flight home will be the suck.

Yikes! If you use it Nathan, make sure it won't kill our plants that we have in the front.

It's not that hard to do, most of the TSA people are on coke. They managed to smuggle bomb making material right by them according the study that was done by TSA-contracted personnel.
It's also not a big deal if you get caught. I was once, and I just said "hey it's less than 5 oz. (or whatever the limit is), so I thought it would be ok." If it's obvious that you aren't trying to hurt anything and are calm, the worst they will do is take it away...and then drink it themselves.

Books are good.
Books on tape are good, too. Keeps you occupied while giving your eyes a rest; I can only read for 3-5 hours before I need a break, even if I'm enjoying the book.

For what? All they are going to do is say hello. You just need to get close enough so they can hear you say "Hi, how are you?"
Please explain.

See if you can pull off a hat-trick mile high club. That would be impressive.

My cousin ran over a Skunk with her Camaro a number of years ago... ended up dragging the stink rodent a few hundered meters down the road (lower ground clearence). It was a damn hot summer that year too, and no amount of engine degreaser could get the smell away, especially when the engine warmed up.

You just soak a rag in ammonia and stick it down the hole.

But I still hate my job. Is there anyway you could negociate for a 2-day weekend or a different position? HA! I work for General Motors, they are laying off 70 salaried and over 700 hourly people from their assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario in September. There are also three plant in Michigan going through similar downsizing. There's a ton of people out there that could do my job. You really think I have anything in the way of bargining power?
So YOU killeed the electric car?

Did they start letting people take stuff on the plane from the duty free shop? You could get a bottle of somethin somethin and transfer it into another container.
When flew back from NS the last time we will ever fly on Airror Canada, the bitch in security took away my freezer packs I was keeping my lobstas cold with.

Oh, that's not so bad.

I fly into Bangkok the night before (approx 20 hours prior) and I'll have already checked into the hotel, slept a night and half the day and will go collect her at the airport when she arrives. Her flight is a bit shorter than mine but she leaves a day later.
