There’s simply nothing more awkward than being caught with a penis pump. By your Mom. On vacation. While the TSA accuses you of being a terrorist.

Mardin Azad Amin’s black, industrial model penis pump was discovered y security personnel during a baggage check. Since it resembled a grenade, he was asked what it was. Amin then decided to say it was a bomb, as his elderly mother was standing nearby, just waiting to pounce upon him and tell him he’d go blind.

The true great thing about this story is it really does perfectly stress the age old dilemma: would you rather your mother think you were a murderer than a masturbator? Or a self-inflater, in this case.

Is that a grenade in your pocket? {Chicago Sun Times]
