T-shirt Creates Unfriendly Skies

It seems Qan­tas air­lines is not a fan of The Princess Bride! A man on a Qan­tas flight from Aus­tralia to New Zealand was asked to remove his Inigo Mon­toya shirt! Mon­toya was a char­ac­ter played by Mandy Patinkin in the 1987 film and the tee was embla­zoned with his famous line, “Hello. My name is Inigo Mon­toya. You killed my father. Pre­pare to die.” But other pas­sen­gers appar­ently didn’t get the ref­er­ence. Wynand Mullins was told by the Qan­tas crew that the shirt was mak­ing fel­low trav­el­ers ner­vous. They asked him to remove it and the flight atten­dant went look­ing for a replace­ment shirt, but never came back. Mullins said he thought the reac­tion was “a bit over the top” and said he had a dis­tinct feel­ing he was being watched for the rest of the flight.
