    |  Spray Starch! Okay you guys might think that I'm weird. But I swear by spray starch. I never leave the house not ironed up. I rock sharp creases that could cut someone. My collars are always pressed a wrinkle on my clothing is both an urban legend,or rumot. Sporting the clean sharp,crisp iron look for me is a must. So my question is,is spray starch safe for airline travel. I know the contents are under pressure in the can. And with the plane being pressurized could this cause the can to explode/implode? Please get back to me...cause without spray starch I might have a panic attack. Lookin good lookin sharp,lookin fly on the regular is a must for me. And no...no I'm not petty!!!  !-Matthew |

| Don't worry, the TSA would never let something past security that could be dangerous...

| Agent Smith  | Max, do you realize 99% of my users haven't used an iron apart from college graduation, job interviews or the first few months of new hire probation?

They iron/press clothes better then I could ever do in any of my best wet dreams. I'm ona first name basis with my dry cleaner. It is ran by an asian family. Mrs. Wong is always asking me. "You still like the boys...you still gay? You need man, you need stop sleeping round,you settle down you find you good man." Wonder if she would apply to her 19 yr. old grandson? Oh and Tony spray starch is this thing you can buy at any local supermarket that presses and straightens the wrinkles out of clothes. Since I lost you on spray starch hopefully I caught you up on it now! -Matthew | |

| Matt, Matt, Matt. If you're gonna quote an Asian drycleaning lady, you gotta do it right. "You still rikey boys? Why you still sreeping lound? You need settle down! Find nice man! Rightly starch shirt?" And I've found the spray starch doesn't do everything it's supposed to. It tends to make the clothes too stiff and doesn't get rid of the wrinkles! |

| I iron every... freaking... day. Sick really. Don't do the starch thing, except for my uniform shirts. I'm pretty anal about the ironing thing though. I've even ironed out my windpants because they were under a pile of clothes. I just hate looking like a slob, so I try not to give off that appearance. I figure getting out all the wrinkles helps considerably in that quest. I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm "metrosexual", but I'm definitely anal about being clean and orderly. I dunno, I think the ironing thing just went into overdrive after living with my ex-Marine roomie in college. We both would fight over the ironing board.

| Just take the starch Matthew, you should be fine. My shaving cream has never exploded! Since I won't be in Vegas this weekend  I'll have to ask you my ironing/starch question here. My work shirts are 100% cotton. I iron and starch them and they look pretty good until I wear them for 5 minutes. After a preflight they don't look so good anymore and after a long day of flying, I look like a hobo in a train station. So besides buying different shirts (which I'm trying to get my boss to do) or taking them to the cleaners, what can I do? I need help!! I hope y'all have fun in Vegas! J |
