Here’s the kind of publicity an author doe not want.

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) – A New York children’s author who used a curse word in exasperation during a plane delay at a U.S. airport was ejected from the aircraft for disruptive behavior.

Robert Sayegh, 37, said Atlantic Southeast Airlines overreacted to his salty language when it summoned police aboard to escort him off the Sunday evening flight at Detroit Metro Airport.

“The f-word is not a nice word to use,” he acknowledged in a telephone interview, adding he was complaining to himself rather than snapping at anyone in particular.

“I really didn’t think I was being that loud.”

Moral: If you’re going to say the f-word, definitely use your Inside Voice.

. . .yeah, he must’ve shouted it or something, else the airline is seriously overreacting. My last flight was from Athens to Chicago, with a stop in Madrid. With the airline’s flight attendants striking. I think, during the first leg, I probably said “fuck” and/or “fucking” approximately eleventy billion times (example: “Is this airport run by fucking goats?”).

No one gave a fuck.

I was certain it was going to be this author. I was wrong.
