Where do they find these people?

 

[Murdoughnut]

The cost of $29 airfare.

It's just a patio, what's the problem?

A lot of people joke about the “Greyhound” crowd.

Have any of y’all ever actually ridden the bus?

Reminds me of that time the entire passenger cabin got out and walked onto the wings after landing in the Hudson a few years back.
It's okay if you're on an Airbus amphibious passenger jet, but not a Boeing on land.

Studying 737 systems. Don’t the overwing exit locks engage?
3/4 doors closed, one engine running, er, is that in air only?

I have. Was not impressed.

I have. Did not get sold meth or beheaded by a demon. Mildly disappointed I didn't get the full experience.

I have, one round trip.
I was going home from Navy Hospital Corpsman A school for the weekend, Chicago to Cincinnati.
I brought my seabag home with me, to do laundry.
Greyhound lost my seabag.
It turned up just in time for me to get ready to go back to school.
They offered to deliver it, I said I'll come and get it.
While driving home from getting my seabag I saw a 172 stagger across I-275 at about 200 feet, turn parallel to the freeway, and crash into the median.
I stopped to help, because I was almost a Corpsman.
Two dudes in the Skyhawk, oddly both with broken left feet.
The pilot says"I think I forgot to turn off the battery".
We crawl into the upside-down, mangled 172.
We look for the battery master, with a very weak flashlight.
It then occurs to me that we are likely on top of a big puddle of avgas.
We leave the 172.
The fire department shows up.
I climb out of the ravine.
I get interviewed on the local news channels, because Airplane Crash!
I go home and spend all night doing laundry.
A few of my buddies see me on TV.
I ride back to Chicago on Greyhound.
I watch my seabag very closely.
Next time I took the train, with a cute girl from my class who also lived near Cincinnati.
I liked the train better.
