Subject: Fear of Flying
So I just got home from a trip to Wisconsin. Left Buffalo to Chicago to Wisconsin. Well when I left Buffalo and we went to land in Chicago, yup they closed the airport due to bad weather. Well I was on one of those regional jets. You know the ones with the seats about 3 inches wide, and of course the guy sittin next to me is over 350lbs. Now I am not one to care about what anyone does or looks like and he was a nice sort of fellow. But my butt was on about a third of the seat cause you see he didn't fit so he took up my seat also I was hanging out onto the isle. The plane was jammed packed. Well since we couldn't land in Chicago they sent us to Grand Rapids. We landed but we could not get off the plane ... for 5 friggin hours. The large guy next to me brought his own salami so I had that going for me also. I thought I was going to die. Well after the weather cleared we left Grand Rapids and landed in Chicago ... lucky the outgoing flights had been delayed also so I was able to get my flight to wisconsin .. got in the plane sat down ... Right next to me, the same 350 lb salami guy that was next to me from Buffalo .. now what are the odds ... and again my arse was hanging out over the isle cause he didn't fit ...
