Civilization is about to implode

[punchkin]

While this may make sense from a financial standpoint (airliner fuel costs big money), I am shocked at the ethics of such a thing! :Q

Really?

Since derrie is cockney for ass, I am going with parody.

Why should normal people subsidize the obese? (or is obesity now considered normal in this country?)

I plan to fly exclusively on Derrie-Air.

And with Derrie-Air being in standard English usage by way of French for "he fleshy part of the human body that you sit on", I'm seconding your notion.

Lol, when real life imitates ATOT:

They?ll be tracking the traffic at FlyDerrie-Air.com, where you can read all about ?the world's first carbon-neutral luxury airline.? Like any newspaper piece, I lost interest after a few paragraphs, but that didn?t stop me from catching this disturbingly sexual anecdote about fictional airline founder Dick Derrie: ?Dick?s longing to plunge into Derrie-Air began in 1994, when he sent his first express package.?

And somehow comes off as more juvenile! :laugh:
