Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for October 07, 2023

…as long as there are plenty of barf bags available!

Not me.

Zig is not in a plane. Those seats look way too comfortable.

I once heard about a pilot who, after his last flight before retiring, took off without clearance and did a barrel roll. He was the only one on the plane when he did it, so no passenger could sue him, and, as long as he landed the plane safely, all the airline could do was fire him, and he was retiring anyway.

This is why I always take German operated airlines. The Germans don’t really understand what the English mean by ‘barrel roll’. The Germans think it means to roll out the barrel, as in the “Beer Barrel Polka”. “This is your pilot speaking. Who’s up for a stein of beer, because it’s time to roll out the barrel! We’re going to have a barrel of fun! Because the gang’s all here!”

ME!!!!!!!!!!

Did Ziggy remember to bring the dramamine?

buckle your seatbelts tighter folks, it’s gonna be an interesting ride. :J

Back when Southwest was fun, we had a pilot ask that.

Wait until the drinks and snacks are served, the airline will be able to charge for those items twice.

Yay!

What another drunk pilot. 24 hours between “bottle and throttle" !!!

Certain to throw Ziggy’s stomach for a loop. ; )

“Roll out the barrel, we’ll have a barrel of fun…”.

Sounds like something an old Southwest crew would pull. They used to be so fun to fly with.

In 1955 a Boeing pilot doing a flyover at a boat race did a barrel roll in a 707 prototype. >

Let’s roll!

Do a barrel roll! Press Z or R twice.

I’ve never been on a flight like that. I always have either have a 400-pound person sitting next to me, or some jerk guy who thinks he has a right to have his legs and elbows all over my seat area.

Seriously, I was getting on a crowded flight once and found the huge guy in the seat next to mine had the arm rest up and was on half my seat. There literally was no room for me to sit. After everyone got on the plane, the flight attendants said one person did not show up, so I was given that person’s seat.

I don’t know what would have happened otherwise. Would they have put me off the plane or put off the guy who was taking two seats or just told me tough luck, squeeze in and suffer with that strange guy pressed up against me?

I do have some sympathy for that guy. He may have medical problems or whatever, so I am not blaming him. Mostly I blame the airlines and their tiny seats and no leg room.

Just let me get my barf bag ready, and stewardess would my bringing me a spare.

Try it pilot and then get reported.

Fasten your seat belts while the stewardi pass out bags…

That’s funny!

Ziggy left my newspaper I’m so sad

See “Calvin and Hobbes”- 5/15/1988 and 1/23/1991.

Fun Fact. If you type in your Google search engine “Google do a barrel role” your whole page spins around.
