OMG, what is going on people? A British Airways flight was cancelled after a passenger spied a tarantula crawling between his legs and in New York a mouse grounded a flight at JKF after messing with the pilot. Has the world gone friggin mad? The British Airways flight had just landed in Edinburgh when the man raised the alarm after some big, hairy 8 legged creature wandered up his leg. A specialist fumigator (is there such a beast?) was sent in for the kill. Meanwhile across the Atlantic a mouse was behind the delay of a Delta Airline plane headed to Heathrow . Seems the pilot refused to take off due to fears the little bugger could have bitten through wiring. Passengers had to wait three hours for a rodent free plane to arrive. Can I have the window seat?

That’s nothing. I read an article once about a plane that was grounded do to an “Mysterious Odor” that ended up being nothing more than farts. This dude’s gas grounded a plane for THREE HOURS. Mice and spiders have nothing on noxious human gas.

Rum and Fanta is worth a try and if you want to be really experimental Beer and Coke (diesel)!!!
When I was in Atlanta I had a crushed mint, gin and lime (with crushed ice). Hmm, what’s the time?

On a final note from me this evening and your morning… I had a super dinner this evening with a friend… Steamed Oysters on the half shell with a slice of Jalapeno pepper and melted cheddar cheese. A Damn fine dinner… Highly recommend it…
