Michael’s Gun

Back when airports were mostly concerned with preventing a straightforward, fly-me-to-Cuba hijacking, it was likely the first time most of my class had ever seen an x-ray machine, and probably Mike was just caught up with the novelty of having to put the coins from his pocket into a little salad bowl when he wondered out loud if he put a gun in the bowl, wouldn’t they just hand it back on the other side of the metal detector?
     We didn’t see Mike for awhile after that, but you know what? I still think it was a pretty funny joke.
