Who said flying was the safest way to travel?

I was lucky to get back to Montreal last night in one piece and, as yet, uncontaminated.

My pre-reserved seat was in a prime location:

- Next to a man who refused to blow his nose and thus sniffed the entire journey
- In front of an all-American family who proceeded to talk loudly the entire way
- Directly in front of a boy of said all-American family who kicked my chair continuously and coughed excessively and I think needlessly

But I guess the highlight of the journey was when the sniffing man got up to get something down from the overhead locker. A large bottle of gin fell out and onto my chair. I happened to be leaning forward filling out my immigration form. Otherwise I would have been knocked out.

I could have strangled the guy. But instead I said, "I'm fine. Just be careful." Yeah, like, you could have killed me, you snivelling moron.

I think my new year's resolution should be to say more what I'm thinking... If only I had the guts.

Happy new year everyone!
