"Ladies and Gentlemen in the interest of increasing efficiency can we request that you remove your outer coats before reaching the x-ray arches. Thank you for your cooperation" Indeed most people did heed the advice given but no matter how many times the message was played over the tannoy one man steadfastly refused to comply. Maybe he didn't speak English, airplanes are clever enough to fly to lands with different native tongues after all. Maybe he was just one of those awkward buggers that get a kick out of doing the opposite of what they are told. Maybe he was busy trying to work out what the difference between an outer and an inner coat might be. Whatever, he wasn't going to remove his. As he came closer to the front of the queue, fellow passengers tried to alert him to the errors of his ways but it was off no use, indeed the zip was pushed in an upward direction.

Finally he reached the front of the queue, "Sir I really am going to have to request that you remove your jacket" At which point the chap sighed, nodded, and removed his coat to reveal his aussie rugby shirt.
