You have to excuse me, but those guys (limited as the photo may be) look like any southern European to me. If they lose their beards (and even if they don’t) they could be southern Italians, Spanish gypsies or what have you. Plus these people got the language wrong… That is just crazy.

I thought the thread title referred to the [Vermont woman](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060817/ap_on_re_us/flight_diverted) on the United flight, but remembered she removed her pants before urinating in the aisle.
