> [@hekk](#): > > Is the guy sitting next to you have an ass so large that you have no room to be comfortable? Or does he just smell like hobo beard? Neither, but he is fast asleep when my wife and I needed to go to the john, and was SUPER polite to me when I woke him up! So, good seatmates do sometimes happen! Althought, what sucks is I got those seats that don’t recline (in front of the exit) so it’s quite cramped. Ahh well can’t win em all. ---

Virgin America [QUOTE=ShibbOleth] When are you going to come down? When are you going to land? Should you have stayed on the farm? Should you have listened to your old man? [/QUOTE] These questions confuse me. Landing about 10:30pm EST tonight. ---

> [@teela\_brown](#): > > Have they started charging $ to go to the potty yet? Nope so far other than the baggage surcharge, $3 M&M’s, $2 headphones, 9/11 security fee, fuel surcharge, airport tax, landing fees, and surcharge tax (a $4 tax on all surcharges), it’s been pretty cheap! 🙂 ---

Have you been able to recline you seat back into the crotch of the person behind you on your return flight? What’d ya have to eat? Is the obligatory plane farter sitting near you? ---
