BUY YOURSELF A CAREFREE FLIGHT

Do you have trouble flying these days? Are you often
mistaken for a terrorist? Does your in-flight behavior cause
pilots to request an Air Force escort to the nearest
airport? If so, you've come to the right place. We at Flying
Comfort Inc. understand your concerns and have developed a
line of products to improve your flying experience, to help
you get to your destination faster, without making a
stopover at Guantanamo Bay.

Please take a few minutes to browse all our products:

---Beard Mask, $24.99. It's not wise these days to fly with
a beard, especially if you're a man. Beards tend to bring
suspicion upon you. After all, Osama bin Laden has a beard
and so do those guys in "Pirates of the Caribbean." But
shaving your beard isn't always the answer, especially if
you need it for religious reasons -- or you're covering up a
facial deformity. That's why we at Flying Comfort Inc. have
developed the Beard Mask. Available in various skin tones,
it fits over your beard and adjusts to the contours of your
jaw. It'll make your chin look bigger, stronger and more
attractive. Women will rush to sit beside you. No one will
suspect you of being a sly terrorist, just a smooth
lady-killer.

---Humongous Hat, $19.99. Our extra-large cowboy hat will
make you look like a good ole Texas rancher. It's been
designed specially for men with turbans, but is also perfect
for anyone with a big head (investment bankers, sports
agents, immigration officers, etc.). Don't let ignorant
passengers get anxious about your turban -- or the size of
your head. Just slip the Humongous Hat over it and act like
you're heading to the rodeo. And don't forget to say "Howdy
y'all!" to the flight crew.

---Patriotic Ensemble, $79.99. There's no better way to show
people you're harmless than by wearing the Patriotic
Ensemble. It includes a T-shirt that says "God Bless
America," a belt buckle shaped like the Statue of Liberty,
and a turban that's red, white and blue. Each item comes
with an easily removable 'Made in China' label. We at Flying
Comfort Inc. are so confident you'll like the Patriotic
Ensemble that we're offering, for a limited time only, a
money-back-if-you're-arrested guarantee. Act now and we'll
send you a free pair of "Stars and Stripes" boxer shorts --
the kind worn by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza
Rice.

---Equality Powder, $9.99. Have you ever noticed how quickly
white folks get through airport security? No need to feel
envious anymore. With our special Equality Powder, imported
from India, you can turn white just in time for your next
flight. Sprinkle it on in seconds and glide through security
like Laura Bush on skates. One skin color isn't better than
another, but these are trying times for the airline
industry, and a little whitening can make you less
frightening. To accommodate your special needs, we at Flying
Comfort Inc. are selling Equality Powder in packets, as well
as buckets.  Stock up and save. Buy enough for the entire
family. Remember: Equality Powder has been heavily tested in
India. There are no known side-effects, aside from a little
genital itching and a strong desire to listen to country
music.

---Bathroom in a Bottle, $14.99. If you're a dark-skinned
man, it's not wise to walk up and down the aisle in
mid-flight. People will think you're up to something,
perhaps looking for a good place to light your shoes. But
what if you've done a lot of drinking and are desperate to
use the restroom? Just carry Bathroom in a Bottle on board
and you'll never have to get out of your seat. Caution: This
product is not recommended for aisle seats (except during
the movie). Men who have trouble aiming are advised to buy
an alternative product: Bathroom in a Barrel. Please do not
pass the barrel around.
