I'm going to do this with a picture of Saddam on my shirt.
He got money for it? But...! That's outrageous! Of course he shouldn't be allowed on a plane with... scribbly... on his shirt.

An old man thought I was Muslim because of my ambiguous skin tone and the fact that I never shaved my beard after no-shave november. People are pretty dumb.
I still have not shaved.
What would happen if I went on a plane with hebrew on my shirt?Quote:
