Raising heck

I come from a long line of rule breakers.

For instance, when I was a kid, the ‘rents once loaded the family into an RV for a vacation in Florida. While there, we drove through “Lion Country Jungle Safari”, one of those “drive your car through and see the lions” parks. While there, we broke every single rule the park had posted, except the one about pets not being allowed in the vehicles in the park, and that one was missed only because we hadn’t brought the dog with us. We called to the elephants (did you know an elephant’s cock can drag the ground?), fed the giraffes (up close, giraffe hide looks a lot like the coat of a boxer dog), honked at the lions, and even got out of the car. All things considered, having an elephant wrap its trunk around the RV antenna and rip it off should be considered “getting off easy”.

This doesn’t quite compare, but for some reason I was looking for all manner of rules to break on the airplane last night.

I didn’t give the safety video my full attention.
I did not put my computer bag under the seat in front of me.
I left my phone on during take-offs and landings.
I listened to my iPod during take-offs and landings.
I unfastened my seatbelt before the captain extinguished the seatbelt sign.

If only I had brought something to smoke in the airplane lavatory!

Yep, I’m a wild one, I am! *snark*

Home again, if only very briefly. Finding out the extent to which life has changed in my absence, before being absent again for an even longer stretch.

    I have accidentally left my phone on through a flight before and the world did not end, nor did we crash. I think next time you pull some rock star behavior and get drunk and belligerent. That’s where the fun is. No one can escape and they can’t kick you off.

      Bwahahaha!
      Babar was pissing, a veritable river that crossed the dirt road we were driving on. We waited for the river to recede before proceeding.

      I have to tell you, unsheathed elephant cock really makes an impression on a 9-year-old boy.
