Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 11, 2012

So you can get downgraded from “economy”.

and here I always called them Trolley Dollies, live and learn…

One if it is a dude.

If you thought riding on the wing was bad, this is worse.

If you’re smart, you’ll call her ma’am.

Weeeeeeee… oh, wait… Aaaaaaaaggghhh!

@ingsoc, not to be petty but shouldn’t : “He does not has…” be written : "He does not have… "?

Looks like women are still being insulted!

To ride like that Ima needa cocktail…Oh, waitress!

Upgraded to EXTREME seating.

Am i sitting in an exit row?

As long as I tip at least 20% why should they complain?

Those were the day. Oh how I miss the Poor Sailors Airline

I’m tellin you, Wiley is a woman. Every strip demeans men and uplifts women. How many times can you make the same joke?

Follow-on question: how many times can you call her “baby?”

There should be the caption along the bottom "do not attempt this – professional driver on closed track)

Showing my age, back when meals were served on planes, the stew was asking if I wanted the dead cow or chicken meal. I no not what possessed me, but I asked her how the chicken was prepared. It got awkward reaaaaal fast. Only wanted to know if it was fried, baked etc. OH well.

I’ve never met a steward(ress) who did not give me her/his best under the prevailing conditions set by weather and my fellow passengers. I have met ALOT of steward(ress)s who needed a kind word after arguing with ppl who felt their situation was more important than anything else happening on the aircraft. Stewards keep us alive and safe and don’t leave the aircraft until the passengers are off and safe. They’re not waitresses, they are emergency response personnel who serve drinks during the calm moments.“Pardon me ma’am, can I help you put that guy and his chair out the door?”

Lotsa leg room….

Although I guess if you call the STEWARD a waitress he might get snippy, no matter how good the tip is.

Ahh not being stuck in the dreaded middle seat and plenty of leg room, where is the resrroom?

Exactly! My ipad2 does it all the time!

@ingsoc What goes ’round comes ’round.

@R. RussellThis is a game that ingsoc and I play… please don’t take it so seriously. Actually, ingsoc has made me more aware of my grammar… thanks ingy.

It’s the landing that’s a bear

Wonder if this happened Wiley.

Wait…the last time I rode a commercial plane that’s what SHE said her job was…I was shocked. But I got it…

Funny today, but I think it would have been better to switch the caption placements!

It’s not economy class – it’s steerage class.

Looks like fun to me.

Say what? Women need men to look on them a certain way to even exist? Damn . . . life is way more precarious than I thought!

I thought the answer was 42?

My mother is a flight attendant and people like this are one of the least hassles. Other, more aggravating ones include the the people who smoke in the bathrooms, the drunk and rowdy, the acrophobic who get a panic attack, the little kids who just won’t stay seated, those who still use electronics when they ask they be turned off, and my favorite, the obstinate elderly who need assistance but are just too stubborn and cantankerous to accept it. Throw in the airport security measures since 9/11 (which don’t work as has been proven many, many times by federal and independent studies) and you have a recipe for a flight attendant going a little crazy with Mr. “Hey, Waitress!”

@Ingsoc

Aw common… I was trying to make nice. Guess you’re not up to it. By the way, thanks for putting all references to me in bold type. (Bait the Troll, About Yourself, etc.) Makes me feel like you really care.

A: because it does not follow, and shows how ignorant the sender is.

Q: why do people who top-post email replies suck?

love it!

@dflaki thought the pilot steered

I bet his arms are going to be tired when they land.

(I had to say it) LOL!!!!!

gathers no foot…

That looks like fun …. but not as much fun as coaxing a waitress into joining the “Mile High Club”

Aw common, you wouldn’t deny me a little colloquialism now and again would ya ingy? Thanks for being my biggest fan!

What would be even better would be to stop the pilot, who might be walking down the aisle, call HER waitress, and ask for another drink.

Silly guy: an air waitress is a stewardess! That, or Elbonian coffee wench. :-P
