Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 31, 2019

Actually, I’ve found those that have money, but always want more, like fame/attention, are in that line, while those with REAL money, talent, and character, don’t usually fit in that line…

I thought that no class, but lots of money usually flies private jets.

When George W. Bush defunded Greyhound and Amtrak subsidies and rerouted them to the airlines, the problem passengers went to the skies, and those of us that ride the rails and roads got more peace and quiet while traveling.

This has nothing to do with any current strip….can anyone tell me why the guy in the cover strip is surprised at his shadow…..Is it because he looks fatter than he thinks he is?

And they are the ones that will get the plane re-routed to another airport for doing something harmful or obscene.

That guy should be eating a cheeseburger and pulling a golf bag

I’m guessing that the upside to the “no class” line is that there are no surprise downgrades. And the downside? You’re surrounded by the “no class” mob of ME and MINE and GIMME.

The line on the right leads to the private business jet lounge.

I always thought the airlines’ definition of “First Class” meant “No Class But Lots Of Money”, and that it had nothing to do with class.

De rigueur politicization: “When, oh when, will the stereoptyping of red cap wearers cease?!?”

(And give him credit for having some class – it’s not on backwards.)

This is not a recent problem. There have been public transport passengers who have an unlimited sense of privilege around for a long time. I recall one from my service days – an Air Force captain. On a Northwest Orient commercial flight, he tried using his rank as an excuse for sexually abusing one of the stewardesses, groping her. He was drunk, but that’s no excuse either. The flight got diverted, and he had to be hauled off in manacles.

Sadly, the airline personnel office chose to try to fire the stewardess, on the grounds that somehow she had incited the man’s behavior. It took three of the other passengers and a reporter threatening the racist and sexist NWA personnel officer with public exposure of unjustified retribution to save her job.

BTW, I never have understood why first class passengers get to be seated first. First class seats are at the front of the plane. Seating them first means they have to wait longer for the rest of the passengers to board and be seated. In addition, until they are seated nobody in business class or coach class can get by them to be seated. Logic says to board the people at the back of the plane first and fill it forward.

I suppose the hope is that they will buy more of the expensive mixed drinks and meals while waiting. And of course, there is the sense of gratification that all the rest of the passengers have to parade past and see you already ensconced in your reasonable-sized seat with leg room instead of heading back to be cram-jammed into the sardine tin.

Isn’t the guy in the “no class but lots of money” the pres—nevermind,…

That line would be a LOT LONGER nowadays!

Unfortunately no. Status climbing/social climbing seem to be innate in mammals. It’s a big reason the world has never seen a true Marxist government.

The lineup we’ve had lately certainly bears this out. . . . Remember Leona helmsly? One of the most classless women in contemporary times. .

Having no class is a parenting problem, not an economic one.

I think I’ve flown with this guy, that bag will go in one of the overheads and completely fill it. Since he got priority seating, he got on first, lifted the inside armrest and sat down, filling 1.5 seats.

There should be a line for people with “emotional support” animals that leads them back out of the airport.

Bring on the gold plated plumbing fixtures.

I’ll buy that.

It’s called tRump Class.

This is precious! Sent to all my friends who fly.

On my last trip on a jet I was upgraded to business class. It was nice to be able to lay down flat on a long flight. No such luck on the return, though I did end up with a bottle of champagne, because my entertainment center didn’t work properly. OK, and maybe because I was nice about it. Common, what are the odds I’d get the only entertainment center that didn’t work right? Couldn’t help but think that was funny. If only I had that kind of luck with lottery tickets. ;)

I LIVE in a “NCBLOM” area and it’s AMAZING how little money it takes to make people snobs.

That will just make it the NEW and IMPROVED status symbol. It will allow DJT to fly commercial without being noticed

There comes a point where you stop owning things and they start owning you. It is bad enough to be a slave to someone else. It’s worse being a slave to someTHING else.

That’s our boy DJT, aka POTUS

Oh, how true, how true!

I know the pragmatists on Mythbusters once ran actual tests to find out what was the fastest way to get all the passengers on and off a jetliner. Anyone remember how that turned out? (My only recollection was that it was not the way the airlines were actually doing it.)

Pressurize part of the Cargo Hold and line it with Fiberglass so you can just Hose it out after each flight.

Money is its own class.

HINT: He draws many "standalone one liners

Coach class, first class, and presidential class.

Where’s the no class pony?
