I think its funny. It sure beats the pricks that you usually have to deal with when flying. Good to know at least one has a sense of humor. The last time I flew, some fat black lady that thought she was god stood there like a big toad barking orders to the same people that was paying her fat ass. I felt like I was back in boot camp. I told my wife that the fat pig needed to shut her trap and watch how she talked to people. Me and her supervisor ended up having a chat before I boarded. Seems she wasn't so tough when someone stood up to her ghetto attitude. You know the type that works at Hartsfield since you live in Atlanta.
No, it's not funny if yer the one it happens to.
There's a line in the sand when it comes to humor. That one passed way over it.
He shoulda had the passenger in on the joke, and watched the reactions of the rest of the crowd. Probably would have still gotten in trouble, but it wouldn't cross that line.
