Plane Boarding Hierarchies

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.

American Airlines. They’re family oriented and board in this order:

  1. Parents with small children, Parents with large children, Small parents with medium-sized children, Blended families of color with adopted children, Service Monkeys, Aunt Edna, everybody else

Southwest Airlines

  1. People who listen closely to phone tree messages when they’re told that some of the menu options may have changed
  2. People who choose Southwest Airlines even though they have many options to choose from when they fly
  3. Relatives of Judge Judy
  4. Judge Judy

Spirit Airlines

  1. No one. They’re out of business

Aeroflot (Russian State Airline)

  1. Convicts heading to the front lines
  2. Casualties returning from the front lines
  3. Enemies of the state who’ll be tossed out when we reach altitude
  4. Anne Hathaway
  5. Vladimir Lenin, should his embalmed body rise from its sarcophagus and need a lift
  6. everybody else

Air Cannabis (The natural highflier)

  1. Dave
  2. Dave
  3. Where’s Dave man

Korean Air

  1. People named Kim – that covers everybody

Artemis Moon Rocket

  1. NASA Platinum Club members, Al Yankovic, Civil War veterans, parents with imaginary children and then astronauts

LGBTQI Airlines

  1. They
  2. Them, and the people who love them
  3. Everything, all of it
  4. Breeders

MillionAireLines – Come fly in the Gildedsphere

  1. Trillionaires
  2. Billion Aires
  3. Buenos Aires
  4. Anne Hathaway
  5. Millionaires

Early NASA Proposals for the Mercury Space Program

1.

                            Logo-a-go-go

Boarding the space capsule shall be accomplished in the following order: Parents with small children, NASA Platinum Club members, service monkeys, small parents with large children, Civil War veterans, parents with imaginary children, and then astronauts

2. Heat shields would consist of a damp washcloth held in place with magnets
3. To save weight, instead of bulky space suits, astronauts would fly in a form fitting onesie with an emergency drop seat for those “extra vehicular activities”
4. Instead of using complicated rocket science, vehicle would be launched by “boing,” using really big springs. I’m sorry. I meant to say vehicle would be launched by “Boeing” using really big springs.
5. No astronaut shall be named Twink
6. Make sure that mischievous Alan Shepherd promises that when he’s out on his spacewalk, he doesn’t take a spaceleak
7. Even though it won’t be connected to anything, and to give the astronauts a sense that their more than just cargo, the dashboard in the space capsule shall have a switch labeled Vroom!

I Don’t Want to Say the Guy Was a Neanderthal, But…

  1. the only way he could cool his body was by panting
  2. he called the Paleo Diet just “diet”
  3. if you pointed at something down the street, he’d just look at the end of your finger
  4. during a full moon he howled like Michael McDonald
  5. he thought the city zoo was an apartment complex
  6. he thinks man started walking erect because of Pamela Anderson
  7. he thinks baboons should be given the vote
  8. he had hair…on his fingernails
  9. his go to pick-up line was, “Your cave or mine?”
  10. y’know, he still had better manners than Russel Crowe

Speculations If the Titanic Was Struck by an Iceberg Lettuce

1. New class of ships would’ve evolved: Iceberg Lettuce Breakers. They’d be captained by Produce Managers
2. The expression, “That’s just the tip of the lettuce” would become popular
3. James Cameron’s net worth would be about $100 million less
4. If somehow the Iceberg Lettuce managed to rip a gash in the Titanic’s steel hull and she began to sink, some wise ass would get on his knees and shout, “Lettuce Pray.”
5. A passenger peering over the railing might remark, “What, no dressing.”
6. Investigators would conclude, “What the hell was a head of lettuce doing in the middle of the North Atlantic?”

My Moustache Comb Salesman is Always Trying to Outdo Me

  • Handy and great for mustache combovers too.

    When I told him I just had a twice-baked potato, he said, “Yeah, well I just had a thrice-baked potato.

  • When I told him I saw the movie “Double Indemnity” he said “That’s nothing. I just saw the sequel ‘Quadruple Indemnity’ and it was twice as good.”

Snippets of Overheard Conversation

  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.
  9. I know a gunslinger who had such bad aim, he couldn’t shoot the breeze if he tried
  10. I know a guy who was very unsuccessful in hitting on women. He couldn’t hit the broad side of a broad
  11. And yes, I realize that Napoleon Bonaparte is not germane to this discussion. How could he be germane? He’s French.

Dave Shares His Thoughts

    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.”
