BY GREG FLYNN
Like most good-bye hugs andkisses, it is better when synchedwith Seal’s “Kiss From a Rose.”She is California-bound. He isgrainy and immobile until hemoves up along the belt, heartswelling in between the clippedshots. He stands next to the secu-rity ribbon, then ducks and is rightbeside her. The two embrace, kissand walk beyond the camera.
But one goodbye kiss thatsnarled up Newark LibertyInternational Airport on Jan. 3 couldsend Haisong Jiang, a Universitygraduate student, to prison.
Port Authority Police arrestedJiang on Jan. 8 for causing a securi-ty breach on Jan. 3 at the airport,when he slipped under a securityribbon to hug and kiss his girlfriendgood-bye, causing the airport toshut down a terminal for six hours.
Of all the University alumni andstudents currently standing trial,Jiang, a 28-year-old graduate stu-dent at the Center for AdvancedBiotechnology and Medicine isthe most defensible. He faces pettydefiant trespass charges amount-ing to a maximum jail term of 30days and a fine of $500.
Pictures from that day makeone of the nation’s busiest air-ports look cramped and miser-able. Jiang clearly deservessome blame for the trouble. Butsome of the inconvenienceshould be attributed to the holesin our clucking, chiding nannysecurity state which allowed for
Is it true that if you don’tuse it, you lose it?
— V-Card Victor
Absolutely. Not studying willresult in a loss of brain activity.Not exercising will result in a lossof muscle. In terms of your name,well that may be the ONLY thingyou can properly maintainthroughout life by shoving it in acloset. (But, I’m not too sure whyyou would ever decide to sen-tence yourself to the third circleof hell anyway.)
How do I not land in thefriend zone?
— The Friend
If you’re a guy or a girl, andyou’re hanging out with a mem-ber of the opposite sex for a longenough amount of time, andyou’re not hideous looking, yourlove interest is bound to think ofyou in a non-friend type of way atleast once. Your job would be torealize this moment and pouncelike a lemur on mangos.
Typically, upon meeting some-one you should look to orally sealthe deal within 48 hours of thefirst encounter. For furtheradvice, consult “Scrubs” seasonone episode three, “My BestFriend’s Mistake.”
How do you keep theromance and excitement aliveafter being in a relationshipfor years?
— Plain Vanilla Lookingfor Sprinkles
I would honestly suggest role-playing. Ever wondered how itwould feel to be a Viking warriorand pillage villages, burn cropsand seize a maiden and make heryours? That is probably moreexciting than staying home, eat-ing frozen pizza and watching“The Bachelor.”
You also may want to considerrestructuring the things you’rewilling to do in public places.That’s always fun, too.
What would love-flavoredvitaminwater taste like?
— Mr. Curious
Ok, try to imagine this. Thinkof “Care Bears” shooting rain-bows from their respective bel-lies. Then add puppies, kittens,baby turtles and some ponies —for good measure. Mix them upand put them on a purple cloud.Did you just vomit sunshine?Now taste that.
If a girl sees a cute guy in apublic place, is it acceptable
to walk over and talk to him?How does she go about this?
— Lookin’ for Love
No, however it is ver yacceptable to go ontoIsawyourutgers.com and be atotal creeper. Going up to theguy and taking initiative likethat is highly discouraged. Whodo you think you are, HillaryClinton? But in all honesty,some guys might like that. Agirl that takes initiative and isconfident can be seen as bothsexy and classy.
I’m kind of seeing thisguy but I realized what I’mattracted to most is thecolor of his skin. Is it badthat I probably wouldn’twant to date him if he was adif ferent color?
— T. Lova
Skin color is a superficialaspect to judge a person’s worth.What are you, John Mayer, whoproclaimed to his adamant fansthat his penis was a whitesupremacist?
Sure, the guy’s a demon at gui-tar, but come on! What was thisquestion even about? I’m too infu-riated to even answer anymore.Forget this noise.
Dr. Desire Q&A
Correspondent Bill Domke shareshis love advice with the wistful, hopeful and downright love-struck
University students who submittedquestions to The Daily Targum.
Goodbye kiss endsbehind bars
the breach and is now pretendingthis is the first and last time any-thing has snuck past them.
Jiang’s duck under the securitybelt led Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg,D-NJ, to introduce national legisla-tion increasing the use of securitycameras at airport screening check-points and exits, and imposing stifffines and penalties on those whointentionally breach airport security.
Jiang also managed to infuriatean entire state of overtaxed sour-pusses, who seem to always besearching for something to bepissed off about and a way to linkit high taxes.
An impressive feat.The surveillance video can
easily be found and residents candecide for themselves if it isheartache or deliberate disobedi-ence that caused the commotion.
Jiang’s Attorney, Eric Bruce,argues that lovesickness is toblame for the mistake and is try-ing to reduce the sentence tocommunity service time.
Some may deride Bruce, butwe personally would like to getBruce on retainer. It would beuseful to have a lawyer willing todefend one of our many mistakeson the basis of lovesickness.
For all of us well-intentionednerds and losers who haveplanned that perfect kiss only tohave the mariachi band cancel itat the last minute under themistletoe, Jiang is our hero, andwe stand with him in screw-up sol-idarity. We know he meant well.The poor schmuck was in love.
