Mobile Phone Calls On Airplanes Calls For A Punch In The Face

If only “Seinfeld” was still around to make this sitcom episode. You have probably read or heard about the possibility of cell phones while in-flight, or even thought about it for a fleeting moment. Then reality hits and you say to yourself, just like an anonymous US Airways flight attendent we spoke to, “Mobile phone calls on airplanes calls for a punch in the face”.

Sure, you are probably smurking, but get ready. If Mr. Smelly Breath, Mr. Nod-off Onyour Shoulder, or Mrs. I DONT-SHUT-UP next to you is enough to make your skin crawl when thinking of previous bad flying citizens next to you on a plane flight from coast-to-coast, get ready for this person (foreign name): Mr. or Ms. Iam-gonnayap Dawholeway.

We don't disagree with our colorful flight attendent's statement. Mobile phone calls on airplanes DO call for a punch in the face!

The struggling airlines have been fighting a battle on two fronts. The first front is price competition and the second is how to nickel-and-dime more from their passengers. Well, we can thank the European Union for backing this future tragedy, as they have approved mobile phones on airplanes.

The EU spokesman stance on blocking you, the peaceful traveler, from Iam-gonnayap Dawholeway is “It's common sense airlines offer that. The Commission will not regulate on this issue, which is a fact of modern life," - EU spokesman Martin Selmayr.

Since when does airlines and common sense flow in the same sentence, without sounding like a paradox? Like when US Airways announced they would be selling ad space on barf bags, or an emergency landing “after one of the passengers sparked suspicions by using his own fruit knife at breakfast”. We are waiting for news one day that an emergency landing happened because a passenger was suspiciously happy he was flying.

So, United States passengers, with the support of our US Airways flight attendent, get your boxing gloves ready, as it is only a very short matter of time until you will need to punch Iam-gonnayap Dawholeway IN THE FACE!
