Wild and Wacky Trip to Alaska

Why do I call it that? Well, so far it has been that. Wild and wacky. Not wild like pandamonium, but just a series of events that are out of the normal.

Lime Green Guy:
As I stood in line at the airport, I see a guy wearing a lime green jumpsuit. He had on lime green shoes with orange stripes. His backpack was somthing that looked like Grover. Along the straps of his backpack were bracelets that look like the babytype or candy type.

Extra Leg Room:
There are monitors at the luggage checkin that offers people the chance to buy extra leg room. What does that exactly mean? Extra leg room. Maybe someone is returning from a cannibalistic event and have a bag of legs to carry on. This makes me think of those the stubby legs. Why don't they offer a discount for stubby leg people. How about a upcharge for extra waist room. Those seats don't expand and airlines don't ask waist measurements...so why not offer an isle seat so their waists can hang over at least to one side? That would make it rough for the cart person to get through.

Upcharges:
So, they charge extra for baggage, extra for weight over 50 pounds, extra leg room, first class or no class...etc.
So what about the toliet? They provide a toliet...but it's $10 more for toliet paper. An extra $25 you can hire someone to wipe your butt for you. The job market is tough. Airlines are doing their best to put people to work. "What do you do for a living?" "I wipe people's butts. I used to be a corporate brown nose, but my nasal passages would get blocked up...so I found wiping butts was more what I was into." You can tell the buttwipers in the airport. Just watch for the stained brown hands...or on some people look for the flies swirling around them.

Oversold Flight:
How can they over sell a flight? They sell the tickets and then, on the day of the flight when your sitting there waiting to go, they make an announcement that they are oversold and offer another inconvenient flight and a bonus credit. Okay...in an age of computers, we have this problem? Why not offer wing seats or grappling hooks to hang onto?
