FLY QUIETLY

Sign at Burbank Airport. Huh? As opposed to what? Kinda like saying FART ODORLESSLY, if you ask me.

10. SBD? Which airport's that?

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. It means don't be a noisy jackass, playing your iPod so goddamned loud

your neighbors are forced to listen to it. Or talking loudly. Or constantly fumbling through your 12 cubic foot carry on bag, banging it into people's legs and knees, to pull out snacks, then a book, then some paper and pen, then the snacks go back, pull out a handy wipe, put the paper and pens away, pull out another book, realize you had your other book still out so now you gotta put that away, decide you do want a snack again... Oor constant up and down pulling shit from and putting it back into the fucking overheard bin, or dressing inappropriately, or otherwise acting in a non-human-being sort of way.

It's a good motto, really, for all of life.

3. You really must fly frequently

I never have as much fun as you do, in airplanes anyway.

4. Dude, I've seen just about everything while flying.

Most flights have been perfectly fine, but all it takes is one jackass to ruin the system. Whether it's a flight or a city or some other form of community, it takes everyone to cooperate to make it work, but one fuckwit has the power to send the whole thing into chaos.

As to flying, every year it seems to get worse as to the people who are sharing my flights with me - less and less ability to control themselves and behave like human beings, PLUS the additional security bullshit making everyone cranky to begin with. I avoid flying now unless I absolutely have to.

8. preaching to the choir on that one.

Flying near the holidays are the worst. All the novices come out, the grandma with 20 wrapped carryon presents, the loney person that wants to talk nonstop for 2 hours, the 300lb guy who bitches that the seats are too small, the lady that doesn't understand it not okay to go to the bathroom during the takeoff roll. I've seen it all.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Shudder. You're so right!

I've been on a many near-Christmas flight that might as well have been a bus ride in the depths of Mexico or Egypt or India - the only thing missing were the live chickens.

6. I'm not sure, but

as someone who lives under the Burbank airport flight plan, I can assure you that they ignore that sign. x(

7. Unlike the fog

The planes don't creep in on little cat feet.
