Analysis of Airport Security
A buxom old broad called Eugene
Tried to slip through security unseen
But the TSA spotted her,
Patted her down, removed her diaper
Guessed what showed up on the screen.
Now her old man Stan
Had concocted a plan
To aid and abet Eugene
In cut off jeans, guts bustin' from the seams
He had emptied his sixth beer can.
With Eugene restrained,
Her man Stan complained
That he simply had to go.
The effect of a six pack had started to flow
And couldn't be contained.
So to avoid a scene,
TSA released Eugene
And escorted Stan to the " john "
And from then on
TSA never messed with Stan nor Eugene.
