Airplanes broke my spirit

Consider this a "Best of" post. It's from my old blog, from a long time ago. But it still rings true with me.

You know what really sucks? When you notice something that you could rant about for ages. Something so ridiculous and seemingly obvious that once you shared it, you'd be pronounced smart ass of the year! And then some stupid flight attendant explains it to you...........

For instance, if you've flown on an airplane, you know that you're not allowed to smoke. Unless you are on fire. No smoking in your seat, no smoking in the bathroom, no smoking period. No "if"s "and"s or "but"s. However..... and please DO check this. If you have ever happened to fly in an airplane owned by "Frontier Airlines" you will notice.........

wait for it

..................................................................there are ashtrays in the bathroom. ASHTRAYS IN THE BATHROOM!!!!!Imagine what thoughts must have gone through my head, doin' toilet paper origami and then...... what? An ashtray?

Sadly this has since been explained to me, (the planes are made in Europe, and in some countries there, you can apparently smoke on the plane) and that just plane sucks. (see the pun? did ya? did ya?)
