Don't Eat a Laxative Before Getting on a Plane

I flew out west for work. Before getting on a 6 hour flight back, I figured "hey, now that airlines suck and don't give you even a snack, why don't I grab a snack for the flight." I walked into one of the newstandy places in the airport, looking for some chips or candy.

I'm a sucker for Jelly Bellies, so when I saw a bag, I figured "hurrah, my snack."

I wasn't super pleased that they were sugar-free, but how bad could it be?

Pretty bad, it turns out. Mostly because I didn't notice the little warning in the lower left hand side of the bag:

You can imagine the rest. Thankfully, the plane was pretty empty and I was sitting maybe 3 rows from the back, so I did not make a spectacle of myself on the 3 or 4 trips to the lavatory.

  • Tyrod, you magnificent bastard. Hokies start the second half right. #
  • It would be awesome if Philip Rivers wouldn't completely tank my fantasy season. #
  • Just finished Terriers. Yup, best drama on TV this year. So, inevitably, it will be cancelled. Go watch the whole season. It's awesome. #
  • If I was coaching the Rams, this is where I would give it to SJax and let him just run everybody over and run down the clock. That's just me #
  • Remember when people thought P. Manning was this year's MVP? Now he's the MVP ... of his *opponents*! Oooh, burn. #

  • The following tweets will be mostly nonsense and unrelated. #
  • I had a coconut cream pie shake from http://sammyscafe.blogspot.com/. It was good, but now I might die. And, yeah, a slice of pie in a shake #
  • Cleveland fans pretty much suck. If that had happened in Boston, Bron Bron would have had his head under a towel crying on the bench. #
  • Finally, the mountain time zone is just silly. Just merge with the Pacific time zone already. #
