Maybe I should clear this up
A few weeks ago, I ridiculed an Arab fellow who was arrested at O'Hare when he told security his penis pump was a "bomb". I think we all construed the story as him not wanting to say it was a penis pump because his mom was at the airport with him, so OF COURSE he said it was a bomb instead.
Well, we all sort of messed that one up. As it turns out, he was saying "pump" but his accent made it sound like "bomb". On the other hand, nervous security screeners hear an Arab saying something that sounds like bomb, and they arrest his ass.
I find this pump/bomb thing to be a perfectly logical and, well, stupidly obvious explanation. Any charges against him have been dropped, and it looks like he'll walk away with a story that his friends will never, EVER, let him live down.
But, as for me, I wanted to say sorry for making fun of you, wherever you are.
