How to: Stay Entertained When Stuck in an Airport with Your Husband

Remember when you were a [noun] and you used to [verb] Mad Libs for [plural noun] with your friends?  And do you remember how they used to [verb] you laugh [adverb] for hours on end?  Well, let me make a small suggestion to help you pass the time the next time you're stuck somewhere bad with someone you love: bring this seriously awesome fill-in-the-blanks game!

I put some computer-themed Mad Libs in J.'s stocking for Christmas and we brought them, along with a sudoku book, thank you notes-to-be-written, and gossip magazines on the airplane to keep us busy on the trip to Hawaii.  And the thing we used the most and loved the best was totally Mad Libs!  When I was a kid, all we had to do to make Mad Libs funny was reference some form of human gas.  So I wasn't sure if we'd still think they were funny as adults.

But after reading about pornographic pictures of Mr. Miyagi in an airport and laughing so hard the other passengers were giving us the stink eye, I can say with authority that these are time well spent.

Bet you never thought you'd be reading the phrase "pornographic pictures of Mr. Miyagi" outside of email spam, now did you?
