I know it might not be a popular suggestion, but I’d be perfectly çool with no booze on flights.

With the cost of booze on flights, it’s been a long time since I actually drank on a plane.

Their client, they explained, had contracted a severe case of traveler’s diarrhea, but couldn’t use the first-class lavatories because they had been barricaded by assistants to the president of Portugal, who was also on the flight. In this situation, they argued, what choice did Finneran have but to defecate on the beverage cart?

I love that they tried arguing this with a straight face. Yes, that is the obvious only alternative. Oh lawyers, you guys are the BEST.

Are you suggesting that he use the economy class toilet? He didn’t become part of the 1% by doing what the 99% consider to be proper behaviour. If the 99% don’t have the initiative to drop their pants and leave a turd on the drinks cart then they deserve to be poor!

I don’t see the connection between Merkel/Silva and Soares. What did I miss? (probably something obvious, wouldn’t be the first time : ))

Well, he would have been the one to commandeer the first class potty.
