I'm So Beyond Joe Biden

 

Headlines are everywhere. The airlines are furious with Vice President Biden for his remarks urging people to avoid air travel and crowded spaces. 

 

Me? I’m so beyond Joe. I think people should avoid the airlines in the United States because they stink.

 

The seats smell. The air filters are never replaced. They don’t have running water in the restrooms. They don’t clean the shit off the flors between flights. They stink. They stink. They stink and they stink and they stink.

I’d ratehr travel by donkey cart sitting in moldy hay than fly on most of the regional airlines in this country. You think I’m kidding? Don’t kid me. I’ve seen it all. Diapers in the magazine racks; half a sandwich on the floor under my seat. (My dog found it.) Who knows how many snots and boogers there are on the arm rests?

 

Joe Biden was right. People should avoid flying. If not for the swine flu let’s just say in the service of general health.

 

I won’t talk about the rudeness of airline employees who routinely treat people with disabilities like simpletons or burdens or worse.

 

I’ll just stick with the smell.

 

They stink.

 

S.K.

 

They stink.

  1. Boy you hit the nail on the head. I have instituted the thousand mile rule. To get me on a plane I need to fly at least 1,000 miles. I drive if the distance is less in my clean, non stinky, and reliable car. You forgot to mention that the U.S. airlines operate old planes many of which are nearing the end of their life cycle.
