Enter technology, exit brain
Tags :Humor
As we enter the plane today the lady that
is to sit two rows up is on her cell phone. While I was impressed
she was using a headset, as many of you should if you do not, her brain
left as she chatted away. Since the flight was on a small ERJ (AA
5354), there is only 1 side of overhead and the other side has a single
row of seats. Nice if you can get exit row on the single seat side
(see location in my posting). However, she was a couple rows in front
of exit, which has entirely nothing to do with this story.
As she chatted away, she placed her small bag on the seat and cell phone.
She then proceeded to place her larger bag in the overhead opposite
her. (one point good for her not using all the overhead). As
people filed in behind her, she immediately stepped into the row below
the overhead (one point for good airplane etiquette) to let them by.
Please return to top where I state she placed purse and phone on seat.
Thereby leaving a single, thin, black cord stretched across the aisle.
Since most business travelers have bags, coats and lost their brains
too, they walked through it like a jungle trap ready to spring. Here
is the steps in your mental mind:
1. Woman
runs trip cord across aisle. One side secured to her head, one side
to small object on opposite seat.
2. Man
with lost brain comes down path oblivious
3. Man
finds trip-wire with mid thigh
4. Man
stumbles on pulling wire
5. Woman
has headset ripped from ear
6. Phone
commences to flying in reaction to pure physics
7. Physics
ends both ear wrenching, man stumbling and phone flying
Final tally? One slung phone (damage unknown), one hurt ear (damage
unknown and brain had left already), one pissed man (mental damage unknown
since brain had left)
...... and one hysterically laughing person in 11A (wait that is me)
