Southwest Airlines: America's new dieting guru

Now they need to do this in movie theaters.

Nothing I hate more than sitting next to some Mountain that keeps rolling into my seat, munching from his 3 large bags of popcorn and slurping from his 4 cokes.
Amazingly I cannot even hear the movie with its volume up to nearly full blast, pop your ears your level, because the nasty blob of worthless flesh beside me is vacumming up his snack at full suck sounding like a damn garbage disposal.

Can't say about the arline thing. The last flight I was on was next to a sweedish bikini model, she smelled so good, was nearly naked, and kept giving me BJ's the whole way to Sweeden. Damn models.
Or was that a dream?

and leg room is only ever enough in the exit row or business class and up.

Exactly why I always request exit rows.

Plus, if the plane does go down, I'll be the first person out. Unless we all die in a big fiery splat (which is more likely).

This is part of the reason I always request exit row, aisle seat, if not, then just the aisle will do. I also splurged and turned in some frequent flier miles to get first class seats to San Francisco. But with my luck, Bubba, the 500lbs nightmare, will right there waiting.

One of my favorite flights was when I sat next to some fat greasy redneck wearing a hot pink tank top. AND he was a talker. Wanted to know all about me. After I finally cut off that converstation and started to relax, he actually puts his arms up over his head POW style and, I'm not kidding, had armpit hair at least 4 inches long sticking straight out. I almost lost my lunch.

They should have an entirely seperate section for fat people and people without personal grooming proficiency.

What's for dinner you ask? Nuts, Chex Mix, pretzels, and Meow Mix. Really. I'm not kidding. I know exactly what that stuff looks and smells like and that was part of the mix.

MEOW MIX!

"If a person takes up more than one seat, that's not the problem of the person, that's the problem of the seat," says Miriam Berg, president of the Council on Size & Weight Discrimination.

I'll bet Miriam shops in the Husky section at Sears..

i seriously wish the heart disease would takeover with these people, so all of this airline talk wouldnt even be an issue. go to the message boards on www.naafa.org and you will see a bunch of these disgraceful people bitching and moaning about how 'unfair' it is. if i was running the show, they'd be duct taped to the wing or thrown into propellars.

Here are some of the naafa "tips" for airline travel...

Here is the tip asking to get something for free.

EMPTY SEAT - Tell the airline that you are large and ask that the seat next to yours remain empty if at all possible. The worst the airline can do is say "No", but most airlines will at least attempt to accommodate.

I'm going to start requesting the same thing since I have wide shoulders. If the pork-o's can get special treatment, so can I.

AISLE OR WINDOW - Request a seat assignment for the aisle or window, where you will I have a little more room, and make sure that you don't have a bulkhead seat. While you have more leg-room in bulkhead, the armrests in the bulkhead do not raise, and the tray tables come out of the armrest across your lap. Supersize flyers might wish to request an aisle seat in a row where the outside armrests are movable, making it easier to slide into the row.

You have to know you're too fat when you can't get the tray over your gut and you have to "slide" into your seat.




ARMREST UP - When you get to your seat during pre-boarding, raise the armrest between seats. This may give you the inch or two of extra space you need. The chances are that the passenger who will be seated next to you won't say anything; if he does, smile pleasantly and say that you'll both be more comfortable if the armrest is up.

This one pisses me off. They are instructing these fatasses to be rude and take advantage of most people's generosity. Both of you won't be more comfortable with the arm rest up, only the fattie as they spill into your seat.



EXIT ROW SEAT - The exit-row seats over the wings of most planes have considerably more leg room than the rest of the seats in economy class. While FM regulations state that exit-row seating may be denied to fat passengers, requesting an exit-row seat may be a viable option for fat people who are tall and those with reasonably good health and mobility.

I do not want some lardass with "reasonably good health and mobility" in my way when I'm trying to escape a burning plane!!!
