Survival kit contents check. In them you’ll find: one .45-caliber automatic, two boxes ammunition, four days’ concentrated emergency rations, one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills, one miniature combination Rooshin phrase book and Bible, one hundred dollars in rubles, one hundred dollars in gold, nine packs of chewing gum, one issue of prophylactics, three lipsticks, three pair of nylon stockings… Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff!
Ian Fleming wrote a travel book called ‘Thrilling Cities.’ It was published in 1963 and one of the cities included was Hanoi. You can’t make this stuff up.
I did not know that about SkyMall! Must be like the magazines in some doctor’s offices – I’d swear I’ve seen it in the seatback pockets of airplanes in the past 5 years?
You really should clean out your Special Spy Briefcase, Sedgwick. No room for useless memorabilia. You could have added an extra stick of C4 in place of that expired coupon….
Ah Skymall… I did look forward to flights to get their magazine and to read about all the kitschy things they sold, would always make me laugh. My favourite was the bust of Elvis with skin-like texture, suitable for caressing. I would save the magazine to take home and read them with my wife. Never bought a thing which I guess helps explain why they went under.

And be careful with that dagger that springs out of the side.
