Munchkin pondering ... "Should I scream now or later?"
It's been a bad summer for the airlines. Sure, there were no major crashes that I remember except for Steve Fossett, who I still believe has staged an Eddie and The Cruisers style disappearance, but that's beside the point. Still ... flight delays are so bad that there's supposedly a movement to "shut down" the airlines until it's improved. Also, airport security still makes you disrobe like a dancer at a gentleman's club and forces you to remove your shoes and walk through a bacterial congregation of thousands of peoples foot germs. (Just think ... the "Shoe Bomber" has changed the way Americans live their lives. Good one.)
Thankfully, the TSA quickly wised up after 5 years and you can now take a nail file onto a plane. Clearly they've installed a 5 billion dollar anti-nail file device, likely produced by Halliburton. But you still cannot take a standard butter knife, although they give you one during some flights. At least I think they do. Do airlines feed you anymore?
Clearly consumers need to rise up in protest.
I have a plan.
Natalie, Anderson and I are now planning our first flight together. As you might recall, Anderson has the scream of a heavy metal lead singer. This has not significantly changed since my last posts and I'm sure our apartment neighbors are plotting our deaths. But to unleash him on the airline industry? That would put an enormous smile on my face.
Picture Anderson - wallowing in the poop-filled diaper that I refused to change - going through security. I'm planning on putting a little piece of metal into his diaper just so they have to open it. Then when he gets on board and the pressurization isn't to his liking? Well, let me tell you passengers in first class will get it just as bad as their coach counterparts. And we really haven't learned how to quiet him down yet. There will be no relenting and no remorse.
" Aye ... fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!"

Ah ... revenge is a dish best served cold.
