How much do you need to be polite to your fellow people, and how much do they really need to do, etc. Its not clear-cut... Certainly sounds like she was out to cause problems. Yes, sometimes that's good. Sometimes its just causing problems. Course, if you want a ride with me you'll have to genuflect correctly DURING the flight, too, or else... :) Ok, just before hand, and then you'll have to praise my landing and write a comic strip about it... :) When ya wanna go up?

They're more comfortable than Greyhound, and have a better survival rate than airplanes. or as Carrot Top put it once: "I know they say that statistically, Flying is 'safer' than taking the train -- you know, there are more train accidents each year than plane crashes... but that's not the whole story. Think about it: when a train gets into an accident, people ask 'was anyone hurt?' When a plane gets into an accident, people ask 'WERE THERE ANY SURVIVORS?' " Of course, it loses something in print -- the way he shouts the last line, it almost ended my life I was laughing so hard. However, doing another lunch would be a fine alternative.

Sadly, I'm getting very sick of having to choose between crappy alternatives. The ONLY thing that makes me think highly about the airlines (their customer service, particularly) is Amtrak. Addison
