    In Chicago right now waiting for my next flight. Heard some wheelchair pusher's Walkie Talkie say "Jimenez, we need two large chairs at gate H12." A couple minutes later two guys (I'm assuming one was Jimenez) pushing extra wide wheelchairs comes walking by. Yep, first class comes off then two morbidly obese individuals come up the ramp. I hope they tip Jimenez because that's some serious pushin'! :lol:
    I got to thinking, if they need extra wide wheelchairs... :problem: :think:
    I'm not sure the two of them could have shared three seats. :shock:

    crass is worse than fat ass...
    maybe a tax for the thoughtless...
    nothing worse than being next to some guy cooler than cool,
    yaking away about people thinking his shit don't stink...
    all the time stinking of bad breath.
    Give me a fattie anyday. And I'm a bit of a fattie myself and use that word
    with much respect and pride :D
    everybody's got something wrong with them and some of these things are really important
    and some are not.

    It's a good point. I'd rather have some large person's arm and leg pressing against me than some obnoxious jackass talking my ear off all flight. But either way, I'm just going to think, "Oh damn," and deal with it for a few hours. Not that big a deal. Just have another drink. And honestly, I don't hate very large people for being obese, so they really don't bug me. They are probably more uncomfortable than they're ever going to make me feel. Seats on planes should be bigger.

    there was something else in there besides taffy and grasshoppers...

    maybe I should have not told you, and left it as a surprise...kinda like the toy at the bottom of the cereal box.
