I thought you Freepers would enjoy reading this on a dull afternoon. Sometimes, someone gets exactly what he deserves....let the punishment fit the crime!

If I get unruly and rude enough in my office, I wonder if somebody will banish me to an island paradise.

"Porto Santo, formerly under Portuguese control"

Isn't it still under Portuguese control?

I blame society. No really I do. Society is one f'd up ball of hypocrisy to classify booze as anything other than a poison.

People tend to get belligerent when drunk. Film at 5:00.

When he refused to calm down, the pilot took the decision to divert the plane and make an unscheduled stop-off at an airstrip on the tiny Portuguese island of Porto Santo.

Porto Santo...is a two-hour ferry ride away from the nearest major airport on Madeira.

LOL! They didn't even drop him at an airport...just a remote island airstrip.

Couldn't they have saved time by doing a low pass over the island and pushing him out the door?

Frogmarched? What exactly is frogmarching? I thought only Republicans were frogmarched, as in Karl Rove according to Joe Wilson. Anyone got a picture or cartoon of marching frogs?
