A Situation Similar to a Recent Motion Picture

Hey idiots,
I was wondering what to do if the following ever happens again...
I regularily take flights from Passadena to Pawtucket, and recently found myself in a precarious predicament of pestering proportions. As I was bording the plane, I was passed a package of peanuts, Planters peanuts I propose, and perceived a pungent putrescense coming from them. Pheromonesthey proclaimed later on, but I paid no attention. Prior to take off, byproxy I was pursuaded to peruse People magazine whilst partaking of the plane's plush seats.
Post take-off, I pondered peeing, and whilst in the airborne port o' potty,I partook of some of said peanuts and lo, a python probed in through the door. Perceiving that Pythons on a Plane is a little perplexing, I pounced out of the port o' potty and pushed a package against the plastic portcullis between myself and the python so as not to free the pissed off plane-serpent. The pheromones on the peanuts had produced a psychotic python, and as I was not privy to the details of the pre-flight plans of a Passadena pharmaceudical pusher to pulverize the passengers of the plane with the python.
I had trapped the beast but told no one... The Python is still on the plane... They could lose Avionics if it escapes....
Please Setbacks... what should I do?

Avionics are such a joke. Did the Wright brothers have "avionics"? I don't think so. Seems to me that most of the recent plane crashes are due to faulty avionics. Now I'm not an aerospace engineer but I really think these planes are filled with overkill like avionics. To make a good plane you need a strong structure (important), some good engines (important), some wings with turning parts to help steering (important), landing gear (important), maybe throw in a radar and a CB radio and you are set. The rest just seems very frivolous.
So my advice is to flush the damn snake. GD avionics be damned! |
