fu manchu

my husband has what i call "instant karma". i'm not sure i even believe in the whole karma concept - but i know things have great timing when it comes to my husband getting what he deserves.

example - on our way to new york for new years, we arrived to the airport super early with our friends and decided to grab breakfast before going through security. for some reason, the topic came up and i mentioned i had never had problems going through security. i then stated "watch, it will be my luck they will search me now". 

if you are even somewhat aware of the sarcastic, dry banter my husband and i share daily, you can then imagine how my husband started running with jokes. as we later waited in line, he grabbed his bags and walked away saying "i don't want anyone to know i am with you, they'll think im a terrorist too" and "see ya on the plane, i'm not waiting". oh he was just sooooo funny poking jokes.

so after i successfully cleared security without so much of a beep, i look back to see my husband being scanned by an old dirty man (ok, so he wasn't really dirty, but just to embellish the story). just when he thought he was safe, they made him enter the full body x-ray machine (you know, the one that people don't like because everyone sees your naked business). i could hardly contain myself - and if i didn't think i'd cause some sort of security breach, i would've taken a picture.

instant karma.

i tell you this, because, you see...well, i offered to help. but my hair cutting skills clearly weren't enough. he had to cut it on his own.

now, i present to you....the backwards fu manchu. 

instant karma.
