So as many that read this know, I despise flying commercially. The prices are outrages, the service is despicable, and TSA stands for Tyrants with Snarly Attitudes. It is a sad sad thing. Well the other day our plane was in the shop for some work and so I got fly commercial.

This is where it gets good (or bad) depending on your outlook on life. See photo. Wow! Yep, this is real. Everyone in the entire airport was all worked up about thus guy. The best part was watching the reactions of the people as they saw him. Even TSA was a little surprised. You could see their brains trying to figure out how to hold this guy.

He was on my flight and sadly enough he sat in the next row over from me as evidenced from this photo.

Nice enough guy, married, but not right in the head. Said his wife was “punishing him” for not being somewhere on time. Um ok, nice! I am glad my wife just makes me take the trash out. He had no issues with making himself very noticeable; went to the food court, stood right by the boarding gate, got up several times during the flight to use the restroom or put things in the overhead. Oh the poor guy on the isle as he reached to put things back in his bag; eye level with you know what, covered only by thin cover of fabric from his…..shorts? I shutter even now at the thought.

Reason #1,478 why not to fly commercially. Welcome to the very very friendly skies.

PS: his “top” says, “Wet, Wild, and Very Ready”. Way to go buddy and thanks for making me look not all that bad anymore!
