The title really should have been:

Without detaining him and doing a little investigation how could they be certain?

From the post:

It may not come to that, or we may recover from the ‘fried rat phase’, just as Germany was reconstructed after WWII.

Warning passengers against sexual assault should be part of the in-flight safety presentation. This will remind perpetrators that it is a felony, and that people will be aware that it can happen. It will also remind potential victims that it is a felony, and should be resisted and reported.

Not the famous Gimpie-Gimpie, though, right?

Perhaps there is some matter of the timing of gas production to account for this? A particular baked good may need more gas produced shortly after mixing, and…

I recently found that the plastic lid to a 1 pound 6 ounce can of Clabber Girl baking powder will fit on top of a can of cat food. That’s become handy, since we got a new kitten.
