A couple of days ago I was going through security and the woman ahead of me saw the crew coming and very quickly started shoving her bags through the line. Because as crew members we were going to cut her off, it's part of life, it's our right & apparently some people just won't stand for it. Even though by the time they get their shoes back on we already have all of our bags and are out of the way. As she was shoving her four bins through I noticed that her roll-a-board was bulging. Suddenly the security agent calls out, "Bag check, lane one." Without hesitating at all she responded, "Oh, that's just my watermelon, it's double wrapped."
I looked at the other flight attendant in absolute shock. A watermelon?!? Why would anyone need to bring a watermelon through security?
They pulled her aside and asked her, "Do you have anything long and metal in your bag?" then she said "Oh, that must be my pastels." Because apparently you can't bring a watermelon without pastels. It may get lonely. As we boarded the plane I told the other flight attendant, "I know why she had to bring a watermelon, they don't have any on her planet."
For the rest of the day all we had to do was look at each other and comment, "Oh, that's just my watermelon!" and then dissolve into giggles...
