Chuckie Schumer was going to sit in the seat next to her, until my wife pointed out that it apparently didn't have seatbelts.
Chuckie then sat elsewhere.
The seatbelts were there all along, tucked under the seat. <|:)~

NOT MAKING THIS UP!!!
Hubby and I were just about to board Southwest Flight 160 from Hartford CT to Nashville last Saturday. Next thing we knew The Goron was in the gate area having his bags checked, being wanded, and then (of course) being hustled to the front of the line so he could be seated on the plane ahead of the people in wheelchairs.
Our reactions: astonishment, loud laughter, and then marvel at how nervous and self-conscious he seemed. Hubby and I settled into quiet joking and insults between the two of us--although hubby said The Goron gave him a long stare while he was being wanded--hubby glared right back at him until he looked away (LOL).
We had to walk by The Goron to get seated in the back. The Goron and his lackey toook up all 6 seats at the very front right side of the plane. (Didn't know Southwest had First Class Seating--LOL). As everyone passed by, no one spoke to The Goron either positively or negatively--we all basically ignored him, which was a little strange, now that I think about it. The Goron held up a newspaper in front of his face & pretended to read it the whole time--but he was turning the pages every five seconds and he kept one eyeball uncovered so he could look over each passenger as they walked by. It was a really wierd thing to watch.
I have to say, I actually had no desire to even make a joking snide comment as I passed by The Goron. The overall impression he made on me was that he's just another loser with a capital L , desperately wanting to be someone important, at the same time projecting no self-confidence. I actually felt sorry for him at the time.
During the two-hour flight the Goron got up a couple of times to use the lavatory (must have been drinking ice tea--LOL!!!). When the plane landed, he grabbed his lock-box and was the first guy off the plane (of course).
Hubby and I are still laughing about this. Talk about wierd karma............
Geez, how fat was his lackey? They needed three seats each?
Excellent Post!!!

Speaking of "large", The Goron has definitely packed on the pounds!!! He had to take off his suit jacket to be wanded. WOAH---some on AMAZING love-handles on display!!! (no appearance of a bullet-proof vest under his shirt, either).
LOL! I bet he paid for all six too! I bet it frosts his ah, leaves knowing that Bubba is still getting comped everywhere. Hehe!
