He does it because he's a fanatic and wants to kill all infidels, not because he's fat.

LOL

No, we don't. We're too busy eating. :)

(5'11", 260...I think I'd only have to buy one seat on Southwest, but I've never flown on a 737 so I'm not sure. I fit in the crappy seats on an Airtran 717 OK.)

True, but not what you said before :)

You said:

Fat people don't run around sawing off peoples heads, and wanting to kill everyone who isn't fat.

And I just pointed out that al Sadr does :)

[Xenalyte]

No, but Muslims do get offended at what the rest of the world finds funny, which is my point. Don't be disingenuous.

[mewzilla]

But al Sadr wouldn't mind killing skinny infidels, too, so I guess we're both right :)

Please, do you see how ridiculous your statement is? You named one FAT man, name tens of millions of FAT people that want to saw off heads.

Fear of heights and enclosed places keeps me from flying.

Well, technically you said fat people, so I don't really need to name millions, just more than one. So....How about the little wart that runs North Korea, Kim Jong Il? I'd say he fits (har, har) the bill, with the proviso that he'll happily kill skinny and fat alike, of course :)

[mewzilla]

But then there's the sawing off the heads aspect, that's true...Kim would just as soon nuke 'em. Oh, never mind. You win :)

Is "cow" or "sow" more politically correct?

Heifer is appropriate if one is young, unmarried and childless.

Cow is appropriate for those older singles and those married but without children.

Sow is appropriate when one has children in tow.

Next time you fly, try to be the last person to board. As you walk through first class see if there are any empty seats. If so, and you are seated next to a fat person, just walk to the front and in a calm but firm voice, explain the situation to the flight attendant. Tell him/her that you do not want to make a scene but you just can't fit in the seat.

It is an unwritten policy of most airlines that they would rather give you a first class seat rather than have a confrontation.

Works every time.

You have to distribute the 'persons of size' evenly front to rear and side to side. Or just have a couple of La-A-Boy couches right over the CG so there will be a place to put them without being sued or called a racist pig. Price those couch seats at a premium, baby...you gotta pay for all that fuel somehow. I can see it now...a metal gate at the boarding ramp about 18" wide...if you can't get through it, you ride 'couch'.

[TASMANIANRED]

I appreciate the clarification..

[Godebert]

Southwest’s policy states that a "customer of size" is someone who can’t sit in a seat without having the armrest raised and is sitting on part of the adjacent seat.

"Customer of size"..........I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

This isn't about muslims. Trying to changing horses in the middle of the stream won't play.

Have you even read all the comments on this thread?

[hdstmf]

The "Flatuance Factor" would be bitch.

As long as he gets to kill somebody...anybody, he's happy I guess.

[Xenalyte]

Yes, and I've also said that as a fat woman I don't have a problem with them.

It's called an analogy, by the way. An example, if you will, not an exact parallel.

"Now, all you fat hogs to the BACK OF THE AIRPLANE!!!! "


No way! Airplanes have a genter of gravity they must pay attention to!
