Voyage of the Damned
I‘m in the back of the bus, or more accurately, the back of an Airbus 319. Seat 29F. The last seat in the last row of a flight into oblivion. It’s not that the plane is in any danger of crashing or other mechanical mishap. No, the danger is much more insidious and diabolical.
…the modern passenger jet is a breeding ground …
Modern air travel has unwittingly created a biological WMD (Weapons of Moderate Discomfort). Essentially, you take about one hundred people or so, stick them in a completely sealed environment for three and a half hours and let incubate. The modern passenger jet is a breeding ground for all kinds of household plagues; runny noses, coughs, sneezes. The self contained air circulation of the jet ensures that at twenty-five thousand feet, all will get exposed, all will be contaminated, and all will become MIRVs (Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicles) for illness and suffering… I can already feel two or three days of sniffles and sneezes on the sofa coming on.

You bring up a topic that I think annoys a large number of people. Even size 0 females have a hard time fitting into those seats. The leg room is a joke and the size of the seats are too!

You should see some of the puddle jumpers we were in when we went to China. They flights were crammed and everyone was sneezing and coughing. It was crazy.
Reminds of the bus from Romancing the Stone
Mr Peeves - it would bring back too many memories
FredCQ - the worse flight I had was in Central America. Passengers on the left, livestock on the right.
Jaboobie - Good image!
They won’t even let you bring your own oxygen bottle on board.
When I feel sniffles coming on I gargle with watered down viegar. Germs will hate it as much as you will. Roman soldiers used vinegar in their canteens to keep the water from going bad or growing scumm.
prying1 - I shall have to try that….
