    People are so entitled today. When my grandpappy used to fly, he’d fly cross-country in a vomit covered seat both ways, and he loved it

      Back when I was a young lad, if you wanted a vomit-covered seat, you had to do it yourself. Young-uns got it way too easy these days, with their new-fangled pre-vomited biohazards. Why, if you wanted hepatitis A or norovirus, you’d have ta get it yerself, dagnammit!

    Pics or didn’t happen.

    I just can not imagine anyone forcing someone to sit in vomit.
