Travelling on a plane with your wife or girlfriend?

(J Asking) wrote in message om...
Your advice please...when I see couples (man and woman, I assume a
wife or girlfriend, not a sister) flying on a place, in most cases the
man insists on his wife or girlfriend taking the window seat, with the
man taking the middle seat. Is the man afraid that if his wife sits
in the middle seat she will run off with a stranger sitting beside
her?

No - he just wants to be closer to the drinks trolley.

No,

He's hoping that if the window shatters and someone has to get sucked
through it like a sausage, it's her and not him :-)

sitting on the isle have a liquor license?

frequent trips to the loo may be an indication of an enlarged prostate

I prefer to sit on the aisle - that way you don't have to climb over
people to go to the loo, stretch your legs, etc.

Of course, I always try for the exit aisle - no seats in front, no
need to climb over anyone.

why is it that women always are the ones who have to suck sausage?

Oh, no, I'm in REAL trouble now ;-) .

To keep this slightly relevant, I much prefer the aisle seat on long
trips like LAX/SYD, because I am one of those annoying heavy
drinkers...um, of non-alcoholic beverages so I can stay hydrated on
the flight. Always marvel at those folks who get through 15 hours with
nothing but a few cans of Foster's and some coffee, though.

Nancy

statistics show that people who sit by the window have a greater chance
of death from an accident or deep vein thrombosis

not to forget suffocation from sumo wrestlers or fish processors

Ditto! Is the prostate somewhere near my ovaries?

The exercise you get walking to and from the loo is good for you, as
is drinking lots of water. I try to do all the right things on long
haul flights and still end up with legs cramps (but not DVT, I've been
checked out by the doc) - I wonder about these people who seem to
sleep the entire flight.

Speaking of which, the guy sitting next to me on a flight to Singapore
was so deeply asleep neither the stewardess or I could wake him. We
seriously thought he was dead until she checked. He finally woke up
and was most put out that he'd missed his dinner.
