i learned a long time ago, NOT to drink and fly

this is way way way long ago. prior to federal air marshals being on planes on a regular basis.

i don't fly well. i HATE flying. plus it's not fair to the people in back of me when i go through the metal detector (it's a bitch to get called for jury duty as well).

anyway, last time i flew (again, prior to 9/11), i got loaded at the airport bar. i figured it would relax me. all it did was make me have to PEE EVERY FIVE MINUTES. by the way, when the plane is taking off they DO NOT LET YOU GET UP TO PEE

moral: don't drink at the airport bar and expect to fly unless you're wearing depends

The passenger then slapped a fellow passenger, who happened to be an undercover air marshal assigned to the flight, said the official.............
