Lemme tell you, if we’re ever in a collapsed building together you can be the point man. We’ll make the hole bigger if necessary. But if we’re on an airplane that has gone down, I’m going to be down that chute first.

most Americans are overweight, so most can not get on their high horses...

buts its cool to belittle overweight people....

of all the addictions....drinking...drugging...gambling...porn....its only over eating that is equated with some lack of morals.....

and fat belittlers will do it unevenly too...fat slobs like football players with their guts hanging over get a pass...they're MEN afterall.....but have that waitress, who's on her feet all day, carry some extra pounds, omg call the cops....

weight police even have a new way to demean...because now you might have the bad kind of fatness, the kind around your tummy....

we're discriminating against overweight people and now we're discriminating against what kind of fat you carry....

Nope. Skinny people first. A skinny person can get through where I’d be hopelessly stuck. Said skinny person can go for help, find more tools and levers, remove debris from the top of the pile, clear obstructions that couldn’t be reached from behind with my lard butt in the way, and worst case if I can’t be saved, will live because they got out first.

Yep. Skinny people first, a skinny person is not as apt to damage the slide. If my lard butt tears the slide, I will be injured or die, and everyone who could have slid down first and live will be stranded and face certain injury and probable death jumping from the plane.

Is the pilot not in charge of the plane?

i’m at fault for not checking before attempting to land but it didn’t occure to me since she was informed before getting on the plane that she had to sit in the center to balance the plane and if she didn’t want to she could stay home.

What really ticks me off is i was doing a freebe for a mexican free clinic operation.

Ah. She violated your explicit orders, even when told why it was important.

Stupid bitch.

“Did you make her walk back?”

Whish I could have but the insurance company paid for a Lear ambulance jet back to the states.

The only satisfaction I got was when she sued me for 5 million she had a stupid attorney that insisted it was a comp insurance case and it got thrown out of court because one employee can’t sue another.

I still don’t know how it could be a comp case since everyone going to those clinics are volunteers and no one get paid but somehow LIGA, the charity that runs the clinics, carried comp insurance on everyone that went.

Please tell me she has since suffered a horrible and ironically appropriate fate.

> I think it rates should be based on how much you pee and poop in the br....

Might not be a good idea. You might be surprised his far some people will go to save a $. I can see TSA pulling autojohn’s out of suitcases thinking they are weapons on their x-ray scanners. Plus the smell of Depends fully loaded on a flight would not be my idea of a pleasant experience...lol
