Boarding Pass

Let me set the stage for the above picture. You are boarding an aircraft for a flight in China. They have given you the boarding pass and in the picture you can see a portion of it in the background. What they did In this case was give you that yellow card as you walked out of the building toward the plane. When you arrived at the steps up to the plane there was a Chinese military looking guy checking your boarding pass and taking the “Boarding Verification Card” from you before letting you board the plane.

You are thinking cool, good idea someone could have forged a boarding pass and walked on the plane, but not with the card right? Now look at what the first part of what is in parentheses says. Let me quote it for you so you don’t have to strain your eyes, what a guy huh. Ok this is what it says, “Showed together with the boarding pass”. I am ok with that because that is exactly what we did and then they took it from us. They didn’t let us get to know that little yellow card, but maybe that is ok too. We might not wanted to part with the little fella if we had gotten attached to it. So to speak that is. Ok let’s get back to the yellow card.

Let me quote the last part of what it says, “and retrieved under the aircraft”. What exactly does that mean? Does it mean that we got them under the aircraft? Because if it does, that clearly did not happen, we got them both when we left the building. What do you think the meaning is?

Could there be a secret meaning to the words on the card; something like playing a recording backwards? Or, and this is the most insidious of all, is this a diabolical plot with communistic intentions, intent on taking over the world, and starting with this little yellow card? Bet you didn’t see that one coming did you. I didn’t think so. You be the judge, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
