Flighty Humor

Now I know what to put under job duties on my resume.

Travel + Leisure = Inevitable Runway Doom


Travel + Leisure just published a list of the scariest runways in the world.  Of course, by "just published" I mean "this is probably old news but you don't know any better anyway."  

This madness to the left is in St. Maarten.  Who the hell would want to be so GD close to an incoming airplane?  Nothing like a sunny day at the beach with a side of jet fumes and deafening turbojet hullabaloo.  What if I was flying my kite?  That beast would suck me up and spit me out faster than a foot-tapping airport stall occupant.  You might as well go lay out on the runway.  

Also on the list of scariest runways is JFK.  They must have also factored in the heinous experience of waiting for hours in this airport's terminals atop urine-stained carpeting.  Left off the list was any runway where Naomi Campbell is near.  Duck and cover when you see her whip out that cell.
