The life and death of Schling LeDing; Austrian philanthropist, tax exile and one of David O’Doherty’s airport aliases.
As ways to kill the soul numbing boredom of being in transit, Irish comic David O’Doherty says that he likes to create the odd alter-ego for himself to pass the time.

Immediately, he was rumbled.
@phlaimeaux We're on to you Schling.

Not to be outsmarted, O’Doherty switched titles in a particularly low stakes game of Catch Me If You Can.
Dank Swan does NOT play by the rules.

The evil airport authorities, who we’d imagine to closely resemble Simpsons party pooper extraordinaire Rex Banner, were finally outfoxed.
Actually, when you think about it, they gave up a bit easily.
@phlaimeaux Gah. Curse you O'Doherty. You've outfoxed us yet again.
