Just got a phone call on my business line…
Person: Can i speak to the person in charge of the phone bills?
Me: This is he, but would you please take us off of your list.
Person: But you don’t know what I’m going to offer.
Me: That’s right!
Person: Enjoy your high rates.
Me: Thanks!
Today, I completed my first flight with Malaysia Airlines. They’re supposedly one of the few 4 star airlines in the world. They definitely rank way up there as far as comfort goes.
For example, I needed to “take care of business” before heading off on the 21 hour flight (1 hour refueling in Stockholm) from Newark to Kuala Lumpur. As the rest of the passengers were boarding I helped myself to the clean and large bathroom in the front of the plane. I could stand straight up and turn around without touching anything. There were orchids by the sink and they even had a sanitary seat cover on the toilet to let you know all was clean.
So, I sit down, and to my surprise, the flight attendants had laced the seat with ice cubes. My cheeks puckered and stopped natures process. After the shock settled, I looked left only to be blinded by my white flesh beaming in the full length mirror. Fortunately, my other organs relaxed since the sensations now changed from butt to blurry vision and everything came out just fine.
Business finished, I put my hands in the large sink with a spigot that actually reaches out far enough to get my hands wet - yippee! I push the button and it proceeds to spit at me at nearly the speed of light and ricochets off my hands to my shirt and slacks. Crap!
Now cleaned up and back to my seat a flight attendant with a pleasant smile offers a glass of champagne. Haha… No thanks - I’m not falling for another one. I’m starting to catch on to their little tricks. They just need to remember that payback is hell…
I thought I had seen all of the censoring games until I arrived in Thailand. As I flipped through TV channels the other day I saw a fuzzy blur on the screen. A bit confused I focused in on it. Turns out that the woman in the show was smoking a cigarette and they had blurred out that part of her hand.
It’s just as stupid as censoring a woman’s nipples in the U.S. I could see the smoke pouring out of the top of the blur, and her hand motions, so I knew what it was. If you’re going to show 95% of it then show the rest and not make it a big deal. When you hide something you empower the mystery and imply what’s behind the censorship is bad. Don’t censor these things and they become normal - and normal doesn’t get a second thought. On the other hand, I guess the “censor guys” need something to do.
I’m at Newark Airport and wanted to give you an update on the current situation…
