So, Southwest Airlines removed a ticket-paying woman from a recent flight. She was 120 lbs and was taken off the flight so "an obese 14-year old" could have two seats, although he only paid for one seat!!!! I'm serious.
And, a teacher or social worker no doubt, supported the Southwest action, saying the fat guy shouldn't "be traumatized" by being forced off the plane. Right....
On our recent flight to Las Vegas, an obese guy in front of us spilled over, well over, into the two seats next to him. We noted how inconvenient and uncomfortable it was for the two people who paid for tickets only to be squashed/squished for four and a half hours. Ridiculous.
Several flights ago, two fat sisters had aisle seats across from each other. Bopper, I think 7 years old, was carrying on his backpack and bumped into the two obese ladies. Karen mumbled something to me that that grumbled about Bopper bumping in to them. I, loudly enough for them to hear, said, "Well, if they weren't so fat...." I know it was rude of me to say that, but what about them inconveniencing everyone else, not just Bopp, who was trying to get by to their own seats?

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
