LTU
A tool
Yesterday I flew – for the first in my life – with LTU from Dusseldorf to New York.
Since the difference between a ticket in economy class and one in business class was only a few hundred dollars, usually it’s a few thousand dollars, I opted for a business class ticket.
Flying business class means usually you get bag with a few (cheap) goodies. For example: a pair of socks.
But LTU did offer the business class passenger this strange instrument. See: picture.
I believe it’s meant to give yourself or your neighbor a massage.
I decided to take it with me to hand it over to my godson the next time when I see him.
He is ready to make new friends with this tool.

This is indeed a wonderful utensil to hit someone on the head or poke someone’s eye out. A real treat to children. The interesting part will be to observe the reaction of the parents. Why not give him a stuffed animal or the liquor that was in your goodie bag?
I have always wondered why there is a curtain shielding off the bussiness class from the eyes of the passengers in economy class. I start to understand now: massages and other possible uses of the tools that are apparently provided to bussiness class passengers do seem to ask for some privacy.
Usually the noise this utensil makes, is more disturbing than the massage is soothing.
It was a sign of providence. Use the tool on your Belle Hélène, the Belgian minister of German culture in Eupen on your rendez-vous the 1st of April.
You know your brilliant but shameless love letter this week in Humo could have provoked in ancient more heroic Homeric times a war between Belgium and the country you actually live in? Thank God I am too old to be drafted.

I strapped one of those to my belt recently and ran around business class hoping to victimize some stewardess.
