Open letter to the heavyset woman next to me on the plane

Dear Heavyset,
You sat next to me in the first class section of flight 427 this evening. I wasn’t ruffled when you accidentally dropped your lead-filled carry-on bag on my crotch. I stifled a scream when you dropped your styrofoam cup of scalding decaf on my kneecap. I resisted the urge to break your pinky when you became uncontrollably flatulent during takeoff.

Then you got out your reading material and that was simply too much. Really. The “Tao of Texas Holdem Poker”? Please. Perhaps I could have overlooked this as merely a lack of culture in your life. I tried to ignore it. Make excuses for you. Then you began making flirtatious glances at me while reading “Dating for Dummies” and that was more than I could stomach.

So, from the bottom of my heart, please. Get a clue.
Sincerely,
Davezilla

    See, this is why it’s advisable to travel at night - weirdos don’t travel at night (and if they do, they’ll mostly want to get their sleep to awaken fresh, and ready to annoy). In any case, it’s always wise to carry a small, discrete contraption that makes farting noises to ward the aforementioned weirdos off.

    How long was this flight….. 1 - 2 hrs?

    Did she have all her teeth?

    Was she pretty in some small way?

    Did you give her you phone number?

    Have you seen Fatal Attraction??

    Does anyone else know about this?

    Was she really all that bad?

    You smiled at least once didn’t you?

    Have you seen Fatal Attraction??

    It is for this very reason that they serve those hot little towels in First Class!
