Happy New Year!
Dear Manslatees,
Man, have I missed you people. Looks like the comments have been breeding like mosquitoes in a little algae-filled pond of internet relationship information (pfft! Tell ME I can’t craft a simile!)
I’m back from all my holiday travel nonsense, including a severely delayed flight to Albuquerque from which one of the passengers was tossed! By the cops! You know what the cure is for a severely delayed flight? Seeing a loudmouthed jerk get bounced right off the plane. Fun!
Anyway ladies, Happy New Year! And I’ll be resuming my normal posting schedule tomorrow. Keep those comments and manslations requests a-comin’, and together in 2008 we’ll solve the world’s relationship problems. I mean, most of them anyway. How hard can it be?
See you tomorrow!
-Jeff Mac

Well, it was close. If you change “shirtless” for “shoeless” and also this WAS on land. We were sitting on the ground waiting for a co-pilot for 2 hours. They couldn’t find one because none of them had cellphones. Seriously.
A customer service guy came on with coupons good for either a free drink OR a free headset (though there was no movie on the flight.) This guy snapped (hard to blame him there) and advanced on the customer service guy, poking him and threatening him. They called the cops, he was ejected, and that was that. His weird wife came back to their seats to retrieve his cowboy boots, and they were gone.
Hilarious. A holiday miracle.

I love the fact there was no movie on the flight, but free headsets. That’s like something a parent would pull on a toddler (not that I’D have done that!)
I think the pilots don’t carry cellphones on purpose. Wouldn’t you??
Thanks for the story. Always good to live someone else’s travel horrors!

Cool about the bust. Was it like an episode of Cops with a shirtless drunken jerk yelling at the officers/air marshals – or are those jerks just on land? Did you try to assist a la a citizen’s arrest before they arrived, or did you just cower in your seat? (i’d pretend I was sleeping.)
Welcome back and happy new year!
