If you’ve ever flown with a small child (or two), you’ve certainly encountered this scenario: Child gets upset about something — anything from seatbelt requirement to dirty diaper to inner-ear presssure to sight of fellow passenger. Child throws fit, which is 10 times more horrible than usual in the confined space of an airplane. You try frantically to distract child with toys, snacks, books, walk up and down aisle, iPod, DVD, wallet, whatever. Distractions fail. Fellow passengers mutter and throw unkind glances.

Do you think a crying child should be kicked off a plane?

And how exactly would you throw said child off the plane. It is a very long way to the ground.
Monday 11/2/09 - 11:33:49 PM
Give 'em a parachute.

I dont know why, but something tells me that would fail.

Like, while it's still flying? No, that'd be rude.
Tuesday 11/3/09 - 12:03:24 AM
It would be safer for everyone if they were launched.
Tuesday 11/3/09 - 12:13:27 AM
How bout an escape pod?
Tuesday 11/3/09 - 12:18:31 AM
Yeah, some kind of mounted catapult or torpedo system with an auto chute set to deploy based on altitude. That'd be kinda a best case scenario.
Tuesday 11/3/09 - 12:19:19 AM
It'd probably be a little hard to throw them off...

All in favor say "I"
Tuesday 11/3/09 - 12:24:28 AM
Can I be terribly old fashioned and say "aye"?


The grammar nazis are creeping into my brain.
Tuesday 11/3/09 - 12:26:09 AM
I'm going with an Aye, I, and both a Ar and Yar for good measure.

Only if you're adverse to a depressurized cabin.

Tuesday 11/3/09 - 12:35:12 AM

I dunno, beats a night on the town with Earnest Hemmingway?
Tuesday 11/3/09 - 12:53:28 AM
That went right over my head.
Tuesday 11/3/09 - 1:01:28 AM
Well, considering he died of a rifle wound to the face I cannot fathom an evening worse in terms of being equally traumatizing, disgusting, and boring.
Tuesday 11/3/09 - 1:14:55 AM
Unless it was in his pre-rifle era. Then, even if it was boring, you'd at least have a story about how boring Hemingway was in person.

Yeah, but that's equally boring because a lot of interesting people knew how boring Hemingway was in person (he collected 6 toed cats for christ sakes), and since I'm just another boring f*ck, it'd be a boring story about 2 boring f*cks having a boring night with a bunch of cats, who are the most interesting, and merely to note that they have 6 toes.

i think the parents who let there kids sit there and screech and not even attempt to shut them up should be thrown off the plane.

But that leaves the problem unsolved.
There's still an annoying child sitting around being annoying.
So just throw off the entire family.

Or everyone except me, the pilot, and the pretty stewardess.
