Keep Your Seats!!
So they think it’s time to charge the over-weight people for an extra seat ~ well, I have a few ideas about other ways the airlines can make extra money:
Ever sit next to a screaming child on an airplane? There should be a noise charge when we have to endure that.
Been seated next to a guy who is air-sick and drank a few quarts of beer before he got on the plane? There should be a “throwing-up” charge if you up-chuck while you’re on the plane. What a great smell!!
Speaking of smells, how about having to sit next to a skinny little woman who apparently was involved in an explosion at the perfume factory just before she boarded. There should be a charge for “smelling too strongly”. It makes you grab for the oxygen mask while seated 6 rows back!
How about the fellow with the “gas” problem? Bad enough for the one who has to sit beside him ~ but how about the ones who sit right behind him! Whoa! Bring back that oxygen mask!
How about a charge for “getting out of your seat too often”? Ever sit on the aisle seat and have one or two people constantly getting up and crawling over you to go to the bathroom? (Even more fun if it’s the guy with the gas problem!)
Be reasonable people! In these days when all we hear is “equal rights” and “discrimination” ~ what the heck do you think this is? And is it not profiling?
In case you’re wondering ~ I am over-weight, but not enough that I can’t fit in one of those seats (with the arm-rest down). I just think it’s wrong to start picking on a specific size person. If I got MY way, all skinny bleached blondes would get a seat ON TOP of the airplane! (I’m entitled to have white hair ~ I earned it!)
