[Hot Tabasco]

My greatest fear of flying is some little kid in the backwoods of Virginia shooting his bb-gun at a high flying airliner at 30,000 ft. that I am a passenger on and the BB hitting my window, breaking it and me getting sucked right out, only to have my right foot get wedged in the window frame thus allowing my body to be battered senseless against the fuselage due to the wind turbulence.....

That's why I always demand an aisle seat in a row that has a fat person sitting next to the window.

There’s not a firearm on Earth that can reach anywhere near that altitude, much less a BB gun. Plus a BB gun wouldn’t break an airplane window if it was held against it and fired. Oh, and I’m that “fat person” (340lbs, 6 feet tall) that you’re referring to. The AVERAGE American adult is overweight and a large minority are obese. Been to a Wal-Mart recently?
