It begins…
You’d think that people this detached from reality could fly on their own.
Save us the trouble.
You know, I think I will not fly. Not for a very, very long time. Nope, I think I will not.
I am with you.
Unless there is a solo ultralight available, this makes them look so much safer.
Pretty sure that guy is going to spend some time in a no-fly institution.
Little did he suspect that the flight attendants just harvested his DNA from his used plastic cup
If I thought someone had stuck me with a syringe- I’d probably be more concerned that they injected something- not took a sample.
Neither the woman nor the baby is suspected to be involved in the plot to steal the man’s DNA.
No one ever suspects babies. It’s what makes them so good at being devious.
The man needs that DNA back so his mitochondria can produce the proper proteins his cells need to function - how dare you all make light of this. If some random stranger took your DNA you’d be freaking out too!
Nifty!
He might be crazy, he might be an asshole, but he does a great Tracy Morgan impression.
Needle-spike hysteria is becoming a worldwide thing.
Indeed. If legitimately the person behind him stuck him with a needle, that would be a good reason to raise a stink, but it’s so unlikely to be true, there better be some really good evidence.
The rest of his performance suggests that he’s detached from reality and he just rubbed up against something mildly pointy.
I foresee a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation in this gentleman’s future.
Now there’s a thought. Everybody who has previously been removed from a plane all placed on the same flight. That could be entertaining - viewed from a distance.
Yeah, from the ground!
His reaction makes me wonder just how many crimes his DNA implicates him in…
That sentence you quoted sure makes it sound like there WAS a plot, but that the baby was not part of it - exactly what the evil babies always want us to believe.
