Armbandit
By IzzyHaving lavishly praised the utlity of spring-steel armbands, Izzy would like to notify his loyal readers of a downside he just discovered. In a world of ubitiquitous metal detectors, those bands can be troublesome. Izzy hoped he could step through a security portal without triggering the alarm, but he was sorely mistaken. Not only did he have to suffer the indignity of removing his jacket, but the guard eyed the bands suspiciously at best, mockingly at worst: ”What are those for, to make your arms looks bigger? Heh heh.” Izzy took off the bands, politely showed them to the guard, and then used them to strangle the insolent martinet.
