I wonder what my boss would say…

… if I called in “Guantanamo” on Monday, instead of showing up in Boston for work. “Calling in Gitmo” is the international travellers trump-card version of “calling in sick” here at the beginning of the third millenium.

If I had seen the t-shirt below a while ago, instead of just now, I would totally have ordered one, and would have tried to wear it on my flight to Boston1. I probably wouldn’t have been able to avoid mouthing off to the TSA guy about civil liberties and security theatre either. Hence “calling in Gitmo”2.

Anyway, here’s the shirt:

I Am Not A Terrorist

It says “I Am Not A Terrorist“.

I am also totally getting one of those. In black, of course.

  2. I did once actually have to “call in jail” for work. Long story.(back)
