Boarding airplanes has become as challenging as finding a parking spot at Costco at Christmas time. Each airline has their own boarding hierarchy based on the clientele they serve. I’ve taken the time to recreate their boarding order so you can be prepared.

1. No one. They’re out of business

1. My dentist is so judgmental. He told me, “You made a very bad first impression with us. Try making a better second impression. By biting down harder.”
2. Don’t you find it odd that your procrastinator’s office has only waiting rooms and that he’s making appointments 13 years out? Let that sink in.
3. If a Kohler wash basin comes knocking at your door….let that sink in
4. The Titanic was struck by an iceberg. It flooded and they had no choice but to, let that sink in.
5. I want you to really apply yourself and carefully coordinate things. Y’know, let that sync in.
6. Do you want to go to the Gay Rodeo? And for context, I should mention it’s the animals and not the cowboys who are gay – don’t ask me how they know.
7. I really am the Eggman – all egg white. And that’s no yolk.
8. The famous 1920’s evangelist was not named Amy Sample She was Amy Semple MacPherson. In this simple example, Sample is Semple.

1. 1. I wonder which is more wind resistant: Tumbleweed or Ariana Grande. I worry about that little pixie being picked up by a stiff breeze and never being seen or heard from again.
   2. So I’m not hip anymore. I wouldn’t recognize Dua Lipa or Doja Cat if they were French kissing me.
   3. And speaking of same, I just realized the term “tongue in cheek” can refer to more than just the cheeks on your face.
   4. If you drop something and watch it, it lands right by your feet and can be easily retrieved. However, if you drop something and don’t watch it, it takes the opportunity to ricochet off your foot or a table leg and scoot itself completely hidden under the couch on the other side of the room. Moral of the story: Kids, stay in school.
   5. At this point, I’ve pretty much given up on the possibility of seeing Jennifer Love Hewitt running naked through my kitchen.
   6. However, from the “One door closes, another door opens department”: Due to an unbelievable confluence of events, during a tour of Buckingham Palace, I once saw Queen Elizabeth II patting herself dry after a sitz bath. I marveled at her pink royal ass, and I say that tongue in cheek.
   7. Has this happened to you? Sometimes, if I’ve unintentionally touched my iPhone screen in strange ways while trying to get it out of my pocket, I’ll look at the screen and I’ve somehow gotten so deep into the iOS architecture that I have the ability to launch nuclear strikes anywhere in the world. Sometimes I access a video of Jennifer Love Hewitt encouraging me to, “Get a life, dude.”
   8. From the Unintended Consequences Dept: At the Pray-it-Away Conversion Therapy Clinic, the instructors somehow got the pages mixedup and inadvertently taught the class in reverse order. When they were through, all the teachers had accidentally transformed themselves from straight to gay. Church elders are blaming it all on, “that degenerate Beach Boys’ song ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ that opened up this whole can of worms.”
