Hear, hear. That's the one thing that's kept me from looking like a prune myself. I've been an addict of skin lotions since I was in college. Just yesterday I was contemplating flying up to London for a concert and realized that, with their flight restrictions, they'd probably try to take my skin lotion away. I was imagining this scene at the baggage check-in reminiscent of a porno movie, with the guards trying to wrestle my squeeze bottle of lotion away from me, and white liquid shooting everywhere. Gave me a chuckle for a moment until I found out that the concert was sold out. Oh well...my ears don't get a treat but my face still does...
