PfAGE 10, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25. 1978, WHITBY FREE PRESS In Canada we have a government 'bureau that deals with trutli in advertising-.sometjmes. Take the travel posters and brochures forinstance. They show your typical average Canadian lamily somewhere in the tropics basking in the sun and not a worry apparent or a wrinkled brow in sigbt. Ravi ng just gone through iL I can only, assume the people pictured -are about three parts to the wind. What the travel brochures don't tell you is the part about trying to catch the plane on time and the bass 'les with customs and charter staff in the terminal. I'm not saying aIl the airline terminal staff are nasty - just the ones that deal with me. On a recent scuba diving vacation 1 had previouslyphoned the ainlines about taking scuba equipment and they assured me Lbey would waive the weigbt restriction for my luggage. The luggage came to over 200 pounds and nine pieces so when I hit JHYLR 78 f~~ce683»5358 5ie a8000CuB AS, 360. V8. auto. trans., PS/PS - cloth covers. H/0 front & rear springs.

Eventually it came time for my*audience with the clerk and hie Iooked at my tickets and asked where my luggage was. I pointed and explained if he gave nme the luggage tickets 1 would instali them on the bags and, one by one, place them on the scales for him to weigh. Not so! hie insisted that I disrupt kthe entire lîne and place al the Iuggage on the scale. I turned my face, so as to cover a deviish grin and said, in a loud voice, 'If you insist.' Ilis face fairiy gleamed-with a smug smile. He dîdn't know the part about 'he who laughs iast watches the map come in to fix the scaies'. 1 eagerly complied with his -request and within a couple of minutes the scale was piled high with scuba gear and luggage and there was the distinct sound of teeth breaking off gears and springs coming loose. The clerk's-smug grin changed to one of horror and lie hastily said, 'Sir, your luggage seems to exceed the luggage weight lumit! I explained that perhaps his scale was inaccura te, grabbed my tickets and left him with the whole works. 1 alniost broke out Iaughing while walkîng away as 1 noticed bum getting a class A hernia trying desperately to reniove the luggage froni the scale and put IL on the conveyor belt.

I guess more and more people are bjacking airplanes these days witb packages of film. Ail the usual things happened to me on the flight. My dessert feil with a plop into my lap, the stewardess spilled tea on'me and* while in the washroom tryng not to get claustrophoba the wa ter splashed out of the sink and made the front of My pants look I had weak kidneys. When landing 1 couldn't find.haf my sea t huckle, tried to steal the baf fromn the guy beside me and got caught and spend the landing.faking it by putting one hall tie scat belt clear across my lap to trick the hawkeyed stewa rdess. 1 guess they'rc getting used to me in the Bahamas because hardly anybody even blinked when I leaped off the plane and kissed Uie runway on my way to the terminaly building. Custons asked me the usual questions about insanity, in the family, did 1 do cruel things to small animhaIs and was I smuggling in any fabric softener. Aler W'hat seemed like a *n eternity 1 made it to my hotel room and was greeted with the worst effrontry of ail a colour TV in my room. Our historian, Brian Winter, had been to this very hotel on his honymoon but failed to tell me the hotel had colour TV. Now that I think of iL he didn't tell me about the water either. Anyway one of the reasons 1 go to the Bahamas is to get away from TV which I pim addicted to, so finding one in my roomn (in perfect working order, I immediately tested iL) did not please me. The situation was saved though when not too much later I discovered a verita hIe oasis just down the hall from my rooni - a machine that sold delightlully cold beer, and one of the Ibrands was my very favourite, Miller Highlile. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven - or at least until the next morning when I hit the pool. As I recaîll 3nian didn't tell me about that situation either.....
