I was really tempted to make some kind of joke about the 9/11 hijackers being worse air rage passengers, but I just donāt have the energy to come up with something clever.
Iām absolutely shocked that Gerard Finneranās obituary over at the New York Times makes no mention of his aerial cart shitting adventures. But then, it was a paid noticeā¦ still, would have been easy to slip in there. āā¦he enjoyed golf, tennis and paddle tennis. Plus he could shit on a drink cart like a pro.ā
On a more sober noteā¦ he died from Alzheimerās around 10 years after dropping a deuce on the cart. I wonder if he was already experiencing symptoms back then, which made his drunkeness truly epic.
Verily, the first thing I thought of when I read the headline was, āDid someone manage to top the guy who defecated on the cart?ā
The question now arises: did Mr. Finneran ever do something like that again? I half-expect to learn that he has since given a TED talk on the nature of air rage, or something.
I had a guy a rows behind me get pretty hammered and decided to start kicking at the window. While a few of us helped the cabin crew with some muscle to deal with the guy, our efforts to restrain him were actually pretty civilized. Post 9/11, I imagine youād have a conga line of people ready to help beat the shit out of him.
Of course, using the economy class loos was completely out of the question. What, shit with the peasants?
I know it might not be a popular suggestion, but Iād be perfectly Ƨool with no booze on flights. If an airline advertised that they were doing that, itād be a tick in their favour.
IMHO.
He says his hobbies are, āgolf, tennis and defecating on airplane food trolliesā. Ooh that didnāt go down well. Golf is not popular round these parts.
The Aristocrats!
Itās a paid death notice. You donāt pay for insults, unless youāre into that sort of thing.
Thatās ok, I was just going to say some dumb stuff about āflying off the handleā, but I couldnāt muster up a decent setup/punchline.
Iām pretty sure lots of people have weathered Alzheimerās without afflicting others in the manner described
You know the worst thing about these people is they always get awarded worst ever status by the use of performance enhancing rage drugs - mainly alcohol. Alcohol often is used in the various air games events as a performance enhancer because of itās ready availability in venue, which I think makes it even more of a crutch - my entry of telling a 6 year old to shut the hell up and stop kicking my seat last year had absolutely no chance of placing just because I donāt drink, and as a consequence I didnāt think to run up and down the aisle peeing on people.
Frankly, the whole air games industry is corrupt, and needs to be cleaned up, although I canāt help but think how great it would be if next yearās entrant won using LSD or something a little bit more edgy than just booze. .
I donāt think Alzheimers is generally the sort of thing one āweathersā.
Wow, the Finneran guy truly left his mark on history. Bravo. I know of dogs that are better behaved.
āā¦couldnāt use the first-class lavatories because they had been barricaded by assistants to the president of Portugal, who was also on the flight.ā Really? REALLY? This in itself I find jaw-dropping - that a private passengerās goon force can do something like this, presumably with the airlineās connivance.
Isnāt the appropriate thing todo in those circumstances: defecate on the President of Portugal or his assistants rather than on the beverage cart.
Nope, only Germanyās chancellor is permitted to do so, and only if she is into it*.
*And yes, she is into it.
The current Portuguese president is a conservative and tried to block a government lead by a left coalition that won the parliamentary election in October.
Merkel is quite happy with Anibal Cavaco Silva who said a left government would be bad for the economy and stopping the bleeding to death austerity program would be a national security crisis (lolwut?).
I guess thereās a reason thatās called a āBrutal Hammerā.
