Thoughts from 30,000 ft
Did the smaller Biscoffs taste better, than the larger ones?

I wonder if the passenger who wrote out those reasons to vote for * in 2004 remembers my dire predictions?

Will a vaccine really help prevent the outbreak of a virus?

WTF? Why do overweight passengers feel they have the right to spill their humongous thighs onto another person's seat?! sigh

I wonder what river that is down there...?

Yes. Small pox is extinct and polio nearly extinct because of vaccines. Measles is getting there.

3. The overweight passenger issue is easy to handle.
Just quietly lean over, like REALLY lean over onto them and whisper, "I thought you should know that I have head lice and ring worm and I haven't gotten my swine flu test back yet."

11. There's another line to use.
"You know, I'm just getting back from the "Bean and Cabbage Festival". We had ALL kinds of different varieties of beens (toot), oh, excuse me, and the cabbage was just to die for. Do you like beans and cabbage? Know any recipes? I'm heading out to the haggis festival next weekend. Want to come along?"

15. Oh, you don't have the "Fat person next to me app" - only 99 cents!
"We got an app for that!"

6. "humongous thighs onto another person's seat"
It's not an American problem. It's an American metaphor.

8. Look, I am no Twiggy. But...
if it ever comes to the point where I don't fit in a coach seat, I won't take 1/4 of someone else's!

9. I Have A Drivers License
I have a drivers license.

I drive, but not very often.

I am not an idiot.
