Oh dear. Why, what did you say? Or would I rather not know?
Groucho Marx is great. And speaking of quotes, I rather like this one: “Was it Da Vinci who said that anyone who quotes authors in discussion is using their memory, not their intellect?” – Mathias the horse.

There was a woman in America who was arrested for being sarcastic when someone at the airport asked her if she was a terrorist, or carrying explosives or something.

No, she said something like “I have a bomb in my bag”, they asked her twice to repeat herself and she confirmed it, and she was arrested.
She didn’t have a bomb in her bag and claimed she was joking.
People are silly.

Probably something beginning with the words “If I was a terrorist…” – to be honest, I can’t remember.

Ah. You’re quite right.
Nuts. I wonder why I wrote that?
(Only a pedant like me would actually care about this…)

They only arrest you if you’re in an airport.
If you are an actual terrorist, like say, Mohammed Atta, you could stand in a government employee’s office and ask for a small business loan so you can build a really, really big crop duster, complain bitterly about having to deal with a woman, wonder aloud (while looking at a picture of Washington DC) how Americans would like it if someone came and blew up their national monuments, and threaten to slit the throat of that same government employee after being refused for the loan.
You could also come back into the same office the next week using a different name and a pair of fake glasses, demanding another loan.
You could do all those things, and no one would even say boo.

What fun, I must try that. However, we were in an airport at the time (but in Switzerland).
