Oh, Crap!

So I’m on the plane to Syracuse – The “40 minute flight” took 40 minutes to get off the ground. This, after missing my 4:30 flight where they gave away my seat 18 minutes before the flight was scheduled to leave. “You have to be in your seat 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time, Sir.” The rules are pretty strict when they apply to the passenger and not the airline.

Anyway, the flight attendant gives us her “This is a real short flight and I don’t have time for any crap, so you’re getting Coke and Sprite and their diet equivalents” speech and suddenly RUNS the length of the plane and disappears into the lavatory. She emerges about 5 minutes later and makes an announcement. “Uh, the lavatory is, uh, well, you’ll have to very careful, uh, using the lavatory, uh, because the, uh, toilet, uh, well, doesn’t flush, uh, properly and, uh, well, you need to be very careful using it.”

Gee, maybe that’s why it smells in here! Needless to say, no one used the lavatory.

Flying really is fun though!
