Please do, the "more" the merrier...!...Oh rats JMMD
Indeed, think of the nightmares we'd all have, if we were forced to stand in of of a "Visi-screen", and say "hail big brother", to D*** Cheyney's smirking countenance. >>> "Oh, the horror"...!
I censored that myself, so that I'd at least get the "D" into Cheyney's first name.

Ah well I was trying to make my own, and I missed --> (in the air) <== which created this confusion. But frankly having 'experienced' few air pockets one of which was pretty scary one gave me the idea .... of this air borne scenario (additionally it will be easier to pull off, if someone dares to do so and probably you can get away with it as well ).

Well sorry to report, the airborne scenario wouldn't work with a jetliner, they don't actually have dive brakes. The fat people in the back, would be pinned against the rear of the aircraft as the plane accelerated.
I suppose you could try applying the thrust reversers in a mock landing configuration, but at those speeds, if they could be applied, they would likely rip the engines off the wings. After which, s**, (which traditionally rolls downhill) indeed would, as well as the fat people, (and everybody else for that matter, (although God only knows how few nonfat people there would actually be on board these days)), when the aircraft contacted the ground in a forced dis-assembly maneuver.

Fair enough, I wonder if others in the industry will follow this double charging trend? e.g. restaurants (fat people eat more food usually) / hair dressers (they'll have to trim hair on whole lot bigger head so will take more time obviously) / taxis (need to burn more fuel to carry a fat passenger) ... you get the idea I am sure.
You know what, a funny thing happened today, we being an 'equal opportunity employer' hired a 'relatively fat engineer' recently and he was posted to work at a large housing society project, but today he got stuck in a sewerage line (read gutter) while the client's representative was over there inspecting the work progress, and the client wasn't really impressed with that so he got fired to resolve the issues 'amicably'.

In this politically correct world, your employer should be eternally grateful that the ACLU didn't come over and file suit to make them enlarge the sewer opening, in a claim based on discrimination. "Those sewers aren't "handicapped" (read mordbidly obese) accessible, and you're in violation of the, "Americans with Disabilities Act.
This would place the situation within the "confines" (big pun) of contemporary wisdom, which reads like this, "my a** isn't too big, your chair's too small". Or in the case of women, "you need to rethink the current standards of beauty, to make BBWs the top of the beauty criterion, and not the "bottom". (Yeah, another pun).

Hi Arch,
Cap, you would not believe (He said rhetorically) what hoops need to be jumped through when an employee says that they need accommodations for a "handicap"
A friend of my mother in law screamed "carpal tunnel" at a local talk radio station she worked at. (I think I linked you to the 'Garage logic Program' a couple of years ago Cap) It ended up costing the station tens of thousands, and they had gov inspectors in there on a regular basis to make sure they maintained their "carpal tunnelness." They were just sitting in wait for a reason to give her the hook. < a little vaudeville there.

Not only that, but I suppose that carpal tunnel syndrome, would provide a ready made excuse for not being able to type more than 2 words per minute, while at the same time precluding the radio station for taking any action about it.
Believe me, I live with people who routinely eat themselves into major overhaul status, then bask in the attention of the medical personnel which they then require.
The lastest episode is my neighbor whose a** is so big, she broke the welds on the cross braces of her now "medically necessary", power chair.

I'd going to act like I didn't read your comment on aviation(cuz I did, lol) and I also watch a lot of history channel as a child when "air panes" were involved(yeah, in the little kid voice.) I still like the thought of newtons third law minus the plane with the fat people in the front of the plane rather than the back. Would be nice to think I'd have a nice cushion upon impact.

To keep this, on topic, let me say that, "I'm absolutely certain that the aircraft's "China", would all be destroyed on impact"!~

And an erection lasting more than 4 hours has no conscience........

I guess that I'd have to take my chances. 80% of flights don't last longer than 4 hours. That only gives me a 20% chance to avoid you saving me then captain.

China, what about South America and the Middle East? Not many countries perform a very good job of cracking down on counterfeit trademark hand bags, clothes, Software, and Film/Music.
I would believe that 70% of Microsoft Office installations in the US are pirated software, and 90% of home with game systems have pirated versions... Most Microsoft Operating Systems in the average home have software, music, film and games that are pirated.
A large number of large grocery store parking lots have pirated music and film being sold from the trunk of a car... The cover for these illegal software, music and film sale in America grocery store parking lots & swap meets have a logo on the packaging "printed in china".
Maybe we need to check a few more containers, oops that would be more government regulations and a larger/bigger government...Maybe we need to get out house in order and not worry about China's illegal sale of counterfeit trademark items.
The greatest security concern is the estimated 11 million+ containers that enter U.S. ports every year. The volume is so vast, that only a small percentage of these containers are effectively searched. In many ports from which U.S.-bound cargo originates, there is little security oversight, maybe that is why it is possible to find "printed in China", on counterfeit trademark packaging nation wide.
