"‘rambling and disjointed conversation', ‘belligerent and unco-operative’, ‘effectively incapacitated’

If I had a dollar for each time one of those phrases showed up on my employee evaluation...

My employer used to think I suffered a series of mental breakdowns, until he realized I was just drunk.

You know, people just don't have a sense of humor for a good drunken fit anymore...

"The UK-bound plane made an emergency diversion to Shannon Airport, in Ireland, last January after the Air Canada flight officer began a ‘rambling and disjointed’ conversation, said an official report."

Last January? Nothing like getting the news out on time. :-)

I hear the guy in the control tower left the mic on and was heard saying, “looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.”

I want to know if any of the passangers spoke Jive and did they require a translator?

But it recorded the views of two doctors onboard that he was in a ‘confused and disorientated state’. The captain also reported that his colleague became uncharacteristically ‘belligerent and unco-operative’ and was ‘effectively incapacitated’...

What's his DUmmie screenname?

It's a lapse in metal faculties, but that's not important now.
