Date up.
What to report?
I had my passport photos taken on Tuesday, and I was sick and also, the wrong person, and the photographs were dreadful. Then today I was the right person (fleetingly) and had them taken again. Much better.
I felt ashamed of the vanity but a passport lasts 10 years and becomes your idea of your traveling self and I talked to Nola about it and she said it was perfectly reasonable and she would have done the same.
I expect things have changed in airports. How will I manage not to nervously talk about the forbidden topics such as B*mbs, Ter*o**ts, and Boog*ie Bo*rds????
Should I wear some kind of Mental Elf Alert button?
Perhaps I need to produce a leaflet entitled "Laughs at Funerals: Cannot Help It."
Does anybody else have this fear?

I think you will be fine.
You could talk about Loch Ness Monsters instead. And just assume that your interlocutor *knows* that Nessie is in on the whole B*mbs, Ter*o**ts, and Boog*ie Bo*rd scheme.
Or you could play that game where instead of saying any of the forbidden words, you say 'sausages' instead.
Hooray for great passport pics! (I won't tell you how many times I had my passport photo taken...) Although, a friend told me that I should try to look as aweful as possible in my passport photo, so that they can recognise me if I'm found dead in a ditch... or when I arrive somewhere at 4am after travelling in economy class for 30 hours.
How about pinning a note to self saying, "Please look after these bears. Thank you."?
Thanks, Alix, and thank you emmajeans for the excellent Nessie and sausage advice also thank you Winston for your suggestion which is worth ~bearing~ in mind...
"Haggis", I shall say emphatically, and then I'll look distractedly over your left shoulder. That should work well.
