How My Mind Works These Days

23 April 2010 @ 17:46

From the AP, via Comcast News, Tim Korte reporting:

A Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles to Florida was diverted to Albuquerque early Friday after a passenger sprayed the first-class cabin with a water bottle, tried to open a cabin door and threatened to blow up the aircraft.

According to a criminal complaint, the incident began 90 minutes after takeoff when a flight attendant noticed Sheffield, seated in first class, was awake and asked if he could bring anything.

Sheffield did not respond.

The flight attendant asked again 15 minutes later, again with no response.

Sheffield then went to a lavatory and, while returning, grabbed a 2-liter water bottle from a drink cart and sprayed other passengers.

“Get behind me, Satan,” Sheffield told the flight attendant.

When flight attendants asked Sheffield to return to his seat, he refused, then tried to open the aircraft’s main door while making threats about blowing up the airplane.

“I am going to bring this plane down,” Sheffield said. The complaint said he also shouted: “You need to land this plane or I’m going to blow it up” and, “I will blow up this plane and take you all with me.” He then approached the cockpit door, again shouting, “Get behind me, Satan.”

The first question that popped into my mind: Was Obama on the plane?

The second question: Perhaps I need a vacation?

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

    You need to look at more cleavage and remind yourself there’s more to life than Barack Obama… I’ll see what I can do….

    That is too funny!

    First you’re thinking “What a nut job”

    Then you’re thinking “Maybe he has something there”

    “The first question that popped into my mind: Was Obama on the plane?” Perfectly reasonable question.

    “You need to look at more cleavage and remind yourself there’s more to life than Barack Obama… I’ll see what I can do….”

    Not to be a nudge, Mr. Mcenroe, but I anticipated this problem last night, although admittedly, without full knowledge of who was in need of distraction. Now, thanks to
    Lance, we know.

    I does hope this moron and his teeth got off the plane in separate containers…

      I agree…but only if Barry-O wasn’t on the plane – if he was, I’d give the son of bitch a medal.

    Well, that’s the thing. At first your reading through and thinking what a total whack job. Then you read Bob’s first question and you’re thinking “Wait a minute…”
