    A trip to Paris from my mates...
    The particular girl who organised it, realised the night before her the trip that her passport was out of date.. (I know..)
    Anyhow, we convinced her to still try to get there.. (I know..) - so we get through 3 security checks in Dublin airport, each one examined her passport and waved her on, so we fly to Paris...
    French authorites spotted it immediately, and told her she had to fly straight back..
    So I did the honourable thing and flew back with her.

    Did I fuck..
