    How to fight boredom on a plane

    If you have a pretty sick sense of humour this is for you. IF you like a king hit or a tackle of two this is for you.

    How to fight the boredom on your next flight (domestic or international). Here is little manual.


    1. Take out your laptop from the bag and put it e.g. on the tray table.
    2. Slowly and peacefully open it up.
    3. Turn it on.
    4. Be sure the person sitting next to you is looking at your screen.
    5. Turn Internet explorer on (OK… I am not a fanatic it can be Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc.).
    6. Close your eyes, turn your face up towards heavens and mumble something...
    7. Take a deep breath and click following link:

    1. Face expression of your fellow passenger – priceless (for everything else as we all know there is Master Card)!!!

    "The elevator is broke, So why don't you test it out"

    "I'm not trapped in here with all of you, Your all trapped in here with me"

    Since when do planes have interweb?
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    The concept of "reading a book" might sound outdated, but it still works.

    The last planes I was on, they had XM radio. That, along with my aunt's iTouch (Star Wars ftmfw) got me through a flight that was supposed to be from Orlando to Philly, and ended up having a 3 hour layover in Baltimore because some knucklehead put a plane down with no gear in Philly...

    Tackled if you're lucky. Maybe a few punts to the head, too.

    I had a friend who kept getting stopped at airports because the power supply for his laptop had broken and was taped shut. Airport security kept worrying he had put a bomb in there and then taped it back up again. As a joke (cause I'm an ass) I told him to put slices of cheese in there so that it looked like plastic explosives. He's worse than I am did. They stopped him, found the cheese, freaked out, and with him back talking ended up giving him a cavity search.

    Thanks Dary.
    I guess they just found some bits of Arabic on Google and painted it red.
    Like the new(ish) avy, btw.

    how about i-doser? the program that supposedly can make you trip, relax, sleep, energize, ect by playing binural beats into your ears? If it worked it could be pretty fun on a plane!
