I heard of a guy who tried to beat the system by removing all hair from his body, even eyebrows. He forgot the one spot he couldn't see--his bung hole.
He got fired--and rightly so. If you smoke weed, I don't want to fly with you, and I don't want to ride in your cabin. Get a job at a gas station or surf shop.
uhh, I definately am against drugs, but wouldn't you rather fly with a guy that smoked a joint a few days ago rather than a guy who drank a pint of whiskey the night before??
