It's one of those days, I guess, as I sit stranded in my hotel by yet another Midwest snowstorm. But, at least I'm not on either of these two flights:
First comes word that an American Airlines flight made an emergency landing Monday after a woman with a decided penchant for flatulence tried to mask the stank by lighting matches while in flight. Naturally, passengers narc'ed her out to the flight attendants.
Then, there's the story of the corporate lawyer who had to de-plane in Los Angeles because his stanky shirt compelled passengers to complain. Naturally, he sued British Airways for $2,800 for lost earnings, vacation time and the cost of staying in the city. The court ruled that the airline's contract of carriage clearly notes that it reserves the right to bar fliers because of their smell.
In the immortal words of Johnny Carson: "I did not know that!" But, after sitting behind an extremely stanky one on my flight to Cincinnati on Monday, I wish I had.
