A valid argument for the airlines to have the li'l white Michael Jackson masks available for those having breathing issues from offenders,lol.
I guess equally difficult for my comfort is the smell of hardcore alcohol on an early a.m. flight, plus, folks who dump what seems like gallons of "classic" fragrances on, bad breath, and my all time favorite offender(popular on a certain flight out to the eastern Aleutians a few years ago).. C-O-R-N-U-T-S-.. EEEEWWWW.

thanks OWJ for a good laugh this afternoon!! Sorry you had to really live through such a flight. Lucky, it wasn't a trip to Europe or Hawaii....

OMG. I laughing so hard I'm crying. My office mates think I've lost my mind.

Sorry for your ordeal OWJ, but it certainly make for entertaining copy..

What a well written, funny story. Well, I'm sure as you were suffering through it, it wasn't funny. Maybe now?

I love that Seinfeld episode:

Do you smell that?

Smell it? What am I, hard of smelling?

...this brings back unpleasant memories of my piano teacher leaning over me (her hands on mine) while either singing or giving instruction...poor soul needed dental work in the worst way!

Now, I'm wondering if I need to bring a handkerchief filled with baking soda on my next flight?...wonder if you breathe through that, if it would help?

Next time, I will be prepared for the stink-o-ramas of the world. I like the suggestion of putting a strong scent on my upper lip--kind of like Clarice in Silence of the Lambs????

And Alya--will have to save the stories of my family for another time. Noone's going to be too interested in my mother stressing for two day about what time to order pizzas and other silly stuff that happens

But then again OWG, if you tell us all the silly stuff your family stressed over we might not feel that our families are not "unusual", you think? So how was the rest of your trip dear one?
