Needs a name tag that says ‘Otto’.

Given this is the Dope forum I’d call it the mildly high club.

They probably only did it because they both wanted to be on top.

Get dozens, if not hundreds, of teenagers and young adults together, regardless of who, and this kind of thing WILL happen.

Just last night I was on vacation in Vegas, and I went on the 550-foot “observation wheel” they’ve got at the Linq, and the pod I rode in had an open bar with a bartender who was very talkative during the ride. I asked him what some of the craziest things that had ever happened in the pod had been and he specifically mentioned people having sex right in front of him. It takes 30 minutes for the wheel to make a full revolution and there’s no way to get security in there, so when something happens that’s beyond his control to stop all he can do is call down to the base and the Caesars SRT (basically a private SWAT team operated by the hotel; I think they ought to call it “Caesar’s Legion” myself, since they can probably afford the licensing fee) will be waiting at the base to grab them when it reaches surface level.

I was once at a public park during a outdoor “Play in the park” with a bunch of children present and I’m pretty sure I saw a sex act in the open.
A man was laying fully clothed on his back on a towel, and literally right on top of him was a smaller woman who was facing him. They were both fully clothed but their crotches we’re in direct contact with each other. They weren’t moving at all but the fact they were in such an awkward position with crotches in such proximity really made it seem like their zippers were both open and they were exchanging SOMETHING.

Autopilot (looks nothing like the picture posted earlier though). Out over the ocean so not much to run into.

Some years ago, there was a thread on the Mile High Club. One poster insisted that it only counted if you were the pilot. Another poster stated that, if you were having sex, you were not a pilot, you were just cargo on a pilotless aircraft.

I’m assuming you put the plane on autopilot?!?

Isn’t that what autopilot is for?
