\c6AIRLINES\c1 Commercial air travel… outside of the overpriced… first class cabin… is like a bus trip with an aerial view. It has both good points and bad. I thought I'd put together a list of each.\c2 THINGS I DON'T LIKE\c6 Salad dressing containers pressur- ized to 10…000 p.s.i.… so that it's impossible to break the seal without propelling half the contents onto your suit.\c7 The way they mix drinks† Fill the glass up seven eighths to the top with mix… then pour the liquor on top so it sits there. (It can't be mixed because instead of individual ice cubes there is a miniature iceberg floating in the drink.)\c6 The flight attendant who walks up the aisle just before takeoff ordering you to put your seat upright. Sup- posedly you are safer that way in case of a crash. I don't care. This is the most uncomfortable position ever devised. It was probably concieved to extract information from prisoners.\c7 Seats where the reclining mechanism doesn't work so that thay can't be moved from the upright position.\c6 Anyone who sits in the middle seat. Even worse† Having to sit in the middle seat yourself.\c7 Anyone with a bladder condition who asks for a window seat.\c6 The little kid in the seat in front of you who keeps bouncing against his seat spilling your drink all over the papers on your tray table.\c7 The little kid behind you who keeps digging his feet into you through the back of your seat.\c6 Little kids on airplanes in general. The first law of air travel reads† The proximity of a screaming child to you in an airplane will be directly proportional to the importance of the highly technical reading material you must fully digest for a crucial business meeting at your destination. \c7 People who bring the Sunday New York Times into the lavatory with them.\c6 The red carbon paper on the back of airline tickets that… after you put the ticket in your inside coat pocket… gets all over your white shirt. This smearing bears a striking resemblance to lipstick… that… if your a married man… must be explained.\c7 People in line in front of you who decide to have the ticket agent book all the flight's the're going to take for the rest of their lives… as you watch your plane pulling away from the gate.\c7 Phone inquiries answered by the ticket agent while your waitng in line. (why doesn't the caller have to wait in line‰)\c6 Pilots who think the're tour guides. JUST FLY THE BLASTED PLANE!!! (Everything they point out is on the other side of the airplane anyway.)\c7 Making connections through Atlanta. Who was it that said† ‡It doesn't matter whether you're going to Heaven or Hell; you still have to change planes in Atlanta‡‰\c2 THINGS I LIKE†\c7 \w3 Honey roasted nuts \b3\w3 \c4Michael Rosen \c6VIA THE\k2 EAGLE'S NEST IMAGE BBS\k0 \c1(201)/828-2367\b1 \c2A Member Of NISSA!\b2
