while at the airport waiting for a flight to arrive
the voice of a cheerful tsa agent came on the intercom:
” attention, attention, all in the terminal!
if you are walking around
with your pants falling down around your knees
come back and see us at the tsa checkpoint,
we have your belt right where you left it!

i figured this guy
working a double shift this weekend
dealing with a lot of unhappy, delayed, and cancelled customers
has a boss who’s putting out fires
or off for the log off the long holiday
just wants to have fun and make the best of things
bravo.

“my belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up.

Thank you for the fact that females can find elastic-waisted pants! And kudos to this agent for making a lot of people smile to themselves!

I think more staff at airports and train stations should be allowed to make jokes. It eases the tension of modern-day travel.
Best wishes, Pete.

That’s exactly why I went for the TSA Precheck status. My belt stays on, as do my shoes.

I honor that sense of humor for sure, Beth. I also have some older pants that I’d have to hand-hold up seriously if made to take the belt off at the TSA station …

Yes, I agree with beetlaypete, more jokes at airports can really help. Or a poem like this read over the PA. Such an original poem. I love it.

That’s hilarious. It never occurred to me that the belt basically hangs on the belt loops. I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight trying to work that out.

I like when I have to wear a belt to keep my pants up because it means I am keeping my weight under control.

I always double-check to make sure all the belt loops are “employed” when sporting a belt. Once many years ago I missed a belt loop. I felt so dumb I vowed that even though I continue to do dumb things, that dumb thing would not be repeated.

Humor is the great elixir. As far as I’m concerned, people can wear what they want. The key word is “wear” since belts are a necessity for wearing pants.
