But the airline industry took some of the heat off her with their own mind-boggling stupidity. Henceforth, they announced, passengers would be deprived of pillows, blankets and bathroom privileges for one hour prior to landing. That ought to show the terrorists we mean business. You guys can blow up our planes, but you better not wait too long to do it! Inasmuch as Umer concealed the device in his drawers, Im surprised that the airlines didnt take the logical next step of making plane
All I know is that at my age, I can do without blankets, pillows and even honey-roasted peanuts. But I think the airlines better rethink those bathroom restrictions. The last thing theyre going to want is a planeload of seniors sounding like cranky four-year-olds, screaming for the last 500 miles of the flight, Are we there yet?
I was gonna suggest that we should all fly naked... Then I caught sight of myself getting out of the shower and realized, that just ain't gonna work. I guess, I'm really lucky, though. I'm a boomer, and was mostly raised in California but the old man was/is staunchly conservative (also a philosophy professor) so I was taught how to think and didn't get "infected" by my own liberal profs in the university.
