You tell me.

I thought it was curious, and kind of annoying, that the TSA agent asked me if I had any liquids in my bag as I was sending it through the X-Ray machine.

I'll push you anywhere, as long as it's backward.

I think it's funny when pilots tell me what runway they're taking off from. It's not like it's going to change what I do.

Overheard at MSP.

I guess you picked the right career, then.

Not-so-pleasantly-plump TSA agent sitting in a chair: I'm not into the whole "fitness thing."

Where would you go...

 if you could fly anywhere for free?

The previous owner was a little old lady who just flew it to church and back.

I've seen a couple of pilots kick the front tires when they do their "pre-flight walk-around," and it makes me think of someone buying a used car. I don't think it's part of the procedure, but lacking an obvious dent, leak or gaping hole in the side of the plane, it's the guy-way of thinking, "She'll do, she's got good rubber." 

Personally, I'd rather they wiggled the wings or ran a PlaneFax on it. As a passenger, I've never been all that concerned about the tires.

At least it wasn't on the new rug.

When they refill the water for the lav sinks, they know they're full when water shoots out of the overflow thingy on the bottom of the jet. It always makes me think that the plane is relieving itself. 

And then, of course, I have the sudden urge to pee.

Be patient, there's really no way there won't be a post about me peeing myself on the ramp.
