						So Walter arrived in Albaturkey today along with his luggage. The thing is Walter bought new super-safe combination lock luggage and has no idea what the combination is. Walter will borrow a toothbrush of the night, tomorrow is another story.
					
				 
				
						
														
					
												L:ooks like he may need to borrow a change of underwear.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												nah, you can't open a suitcase with a tootbrush.
you need a paper clip or something...
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												It's the code of the west: Got to blow the lock off with a carbine or winchester.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												It's real nice luggage. Beats the hell of my mexican leather back-pack.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Does Walter know who he is?   Has anyone asked him what his name is?
This could be a serious matter.

He could exchange underwear with Dys.
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												I wonder how Walter would look in the red flannel underwear?
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Not very Germanic - to lose track of the combination!!!!
											
					
				 
																			
						
														
					
												Walter is in America now. He does exactly as Americans do....
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Funny, I was looking at the luggage locks at the Sharper Image store at the Chicago airport/American Airlines just a few hours ago, and pulled my hand back, thinking "no, osso, you'll only mess up with those things.."
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												I hope his pumperknickel doesn't go off in the meantime.
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												I thought they confiscated locked luggage nowadays....
RUN DYS, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!
											
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												I had very clever chosen "000" to be the standard number.
But somehow I couldn't close the main lock this morning. Locking - with a key - the two side loocks onlz didn't seem too good.
Then I noticed a red strip inside the number lock, pressed it back .... and the lock worked perfectly.
Besides that I couldn't reopen it. And after 539 number variations I'm now waiting for the nice human being on the samsonite helpline who takes over the day-shift from the the maschine now on duty ...

It's TSA-approved: they opened and closed it ... but I didn't even try to ask them how they did it!

												I have only one thing to say: this makes me ashamed that God made me German.
