MAY AIRPORTS HANG BY THE NECK.

The Old Geezer has been accused of many things through the years. Some of which were true and the others I say ‘Tish-Tosh” to. Have never been called a right-wing, extremist, conspiracy fruitcake that believes our government is the enemy and their only reason for being is to take away all our liberties and freedoms. These folks have the brains of a pot of kasha!

Very few things make me angry enough to want to take up arms and resort to violence. I, am, not a skin head although I do have more skin on my head than hair. The NRA doesn’t consider me a card-paying member. In fact I believe with all my heart that Charlton Heston was a homophobic stiff who wore the worst toupee in history and couldn’t act his way onto The Gong Show.

BUT, like most of you I get furious, angry, irritated, frantic and crazy when I hear about airline passengers who are forced to sit, as prisoners, on a locked jet that isn’t allowed to take-off or pull up to its passenger gate. These poor souls are treated worse than the most dangerous captive at Gitmo. Airline personnel don’t allow these customers to leave the plane under any circumstances. They must sit like condemned death row inmates and are given no choice about their dilemma. Six or seven hours stuck in a million dollar sardine can that is beginning to smell like a Turkish cabdriver, without food or water, seems perfectly acceptable to the idiots running airlines. Never, has any airline executive ever found themselves in such a deplorable situation.

The average passenger has paid too much for their ticket, forced to go through concentration camps security checks, stuffed into seats that were designed for midgets and are told to suck it up while their plane just sits and sits. No airline or airport ever explains in coherent English why these damn things happen. The Federal government of FAA should institute a rule that planes can’t be left standing on a landing lane or near a terminal for more than 45-minutes. The passengers MUST be let off the plane and taken into the terminal. No ifs-ands-or-buts!!!!!

Because the Geezer is clear thinker the people responsible for these horrific situation should be hung by their big toe, boiled in oil and forced to watch reruns of Doogie Howser.
