    Ironically, I read that on an airplane a couple weeks ago.

    I like this one:

    “Some FAA rules don’t make sense to us either. Like the fact that when we’re at 39,000 feet going 400 miles an hour, in a plane that could hit turbulence at any minute, [flight attendants] can walk around and serve hot coffee and Chateaubriand. But when we’re on the ground on a flat piece of asphalt going five to ten miles an hour, they’ve got to be buckled in like they’re at NASCAR.” --Jack Stephan, US Airways captain based in Annapolis, Maryland, who has been flying since 1984

    Yeah. That must be comfortable for those folks afraid to fly.
