A passenger on a flight from Egypt to Saudi Arabia had 700 live snakes in his carry-on bag, including two extremely poisonous cobras. I am not making this up!

Sounds like that really bad Samuel Jackson movie from last year ...

I saw that article. I recall a rather uncouth line that was used to advertise that movie. If this guy were sitting next to me on the plane, I'd be shouting that uncouth line so loud that they'd hear me all the way to first class.

OMG!!!! How scary is that?

Jeez!!!

This is really lame, but I can't remember the line from the movie and it's really bugging me. Any hints, Atravelynn?

BTW if this guy was sitting next to me they'd hear me on the ground!

I was something like, "enough is enough! I've had it with these m.f'ing snakes"

PS I saw this move in Paris with French subtitles - I think the absurdity of doing that made the movie seem funnier that it was.

MoiraS

That's it!

"Enough is enough! I've had it with these motherf***ing snakes on this motherf***ing plane!"

I'd like to thank my cat, my sister, and Mrs Brown who taught me how to spell in second grade...

What's funny is that I saw "Snakes on a Plane" when I was actually on a plane. I thought there was some unwritten rule about not showing airplane disaster movies on planes, but maybe that's just a rumor.

I cannot believe something like that would be shown on a plane. That is a joke in itself.

Now we have a choice. You can choose between a guy with a bag full of snakes and a guy with TB as a seatmate.

It makes the incessant talker with a facial tick who snores seem all the more inviting as a seatmate.

I couldn't believe it either, but there it was. At least it was one of those video on demand systems so not everyone had to watch it. The movie was so awful it was actually pretty funny...though I did look twice at the vents in the bathroom!

I'll be looking at the vents in the airline bathrooms now too and I didn't even see the movie.

Let's put it this way...STDs aren't the only risk involved when joining the Mile High Club!
