COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Fat Ass Kevin Smith

How does he sit on an airline toilet seat?

Now let me ask you an honest question. Would you want to fly next to someone this size, spilling into your seat, feeling his body heat and having his massive ham legs next to yours on your next flight?

Southwest Airlines thought not, and I salute Southwest Airlines.

  3. And what about Alfred Hitchcock, or Fats Domino?

    This needs some rethinking, like pay by the pound for space by the cubic yard, or something.

  4. And how do you get around the Constitution and equal rights?

    Maybe you could have a separate, but equal, airline for fats, which might lead to a separate but equal airline for muzzies, a good thing, but that separate but equal thing is always a sticker.

  7. Right Bob.

    Sorry, a fat ass is a fat ass regardless of who is steering it. They may have a right to their lard but they do not have the right to stuff it in your jar.

  10. You know you're in trouble when lard ass asks for a seat belt extension.

    While they are at it, they should charge people for carry ons, not the other way around.
