But then, they open it up and see this terrorist puppet with big, bulging eyes and it gets a big laugh. And I’m like, “But it is!” I realized that if I get harassed one too many times by people with zero sense of humor, I might get detained for a while. They’d be like, “Ssssshhhhhhh.” They would hush me. You know, they ask, “What is that?” And I answer, “It’s a dead terrorist”.

Usually I’d go, “It’s a head.” And they’d go, “What?” But the goofiest one ever was in Birmingham, pre-9/11. It was like a dog cocking his head, a real confused look, then a concerned look, and then the person would look at me, smiling and waving back.

Now a decent percentage will see me and the heads in the suitcases and say, “Oh, you’re that guy.” Before the Comedy Central stuff hit, it was a major pain the neck.

What’s really interesting is that now more people recognize me, so it actually makes it easier.
