I use to travel cross country on a weekly basis. I always pack a lunch and snakes for the flight. One because airline food sucked and two, I always had what I like to eat. The only thing I might buy on rare occasions was water.
I've flown a bit. Never bought airport anything and never ate food on the plane. Even a twelve hour flight I would not eat their chow. I always figured if everyone died of food posioning I'd be the only one alive when the plane went down. Comforting thought eh?
If you ever get a chance to see it please do. It's great.
It's the movie that made famous the line "I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue", as uttered by Lloyd Bridges, and Peter Graves asking Joey "Have you ever seen a grown man Naked?"
Had a flight delay in Newfoundland and a couple of hours to kill. One tap beer for me, one for daughter and a can of root beer for grandson. I knew it was likely expensive so I laid a $50 bill on the bar top. It was $52.
Yeah, the TSA sucks, and airport security's purpose is to inconvenience passengers so they feel more safe (not actual safety, just the feeling of it) etc.
Unsurprisingly, this results in high expenses for vendors, and thus high prices for customers. There's a reason I avoid flying like the plague.
Lol, and it's the Vegas airport. I'm surprised at how many people are playing the slot machines in the airport. If it's the place where you spend your first then last dollars, what kind of odds do you think are programmed into the machines?

ReplyDeleteSamuel L Jackson would like a word with you
DeleteSo...you're the inspiration for that movie with Samuel L. Jackson.
DeleteBif fan of snakes on a plane...
DeleteGeez, things in Vegas are bad when you can buy a hooker's snatch to eat for less than this snack.
ReplyDelete"At the airport" says it all....
ReplyDeleteJerky, nuts and designer water are considered groceries these days. Good to know.
ReplyDeleteA restaurant would have been cheaper.

ReplyDeleteYour story line is straight out of the movie 'Airplane'.
DeleteHa, never seen the movie, haven't owned a tv in over thirty years. Shit I could been a movie star.

Is that the same movie where the woman speaks Bro fluently?
DeleteYep, the same person who translates jive for the stewardess, played June Cleaver on the old Leave it to Beaver tv show.
DeleteThat's what it was, jive, not Bro.
DeleteBarbara Billingsley, The Beaver's mom. Danged idjit.
DeleteI hate Las Vegas airport, I hate Las Vegas, I hate the people in Las Vegas ..... couple decent gun shops though.
