During a recent flight from Chicago to Cleveland in what can only be described as an adventure in waiting. There was something said that evidently the flight attendant must not have thought out before uttering.

After we had already sat about an hour waiting to board the plane, and then after sitting on the plane for about an hour the flight attendant comes on and makes this announcement.

"As you can see we are ready to go, unfortunately we can not find our pilots" (I sh*t you not, that was her actual quote)

Well me being the smart a$$ that I am, (translation, having a big mouth and speaking before thinking blurts out) "Well, I hope they aren't at the bar!"

So after about another 30 minutes on the plane to avoid a "Jet Blue" incident they actually let us get off the plane to go get food or snacks. (There was no food on the plane and you can only drink so much ligquid for sustenance). Well, of course this was the one day I decided to pass on breakfast as I was figuring I would land in about an hour and get something to eat.

After sitting around for an unexpected extra 3 or 4 hours your stomach has a way of saying "Idiot, I told you to eat breakfast!"

(Recommendation for travelers, at Chicago O'hare you can enjoy a delicious lunch of a bag of honey roasted peanuts and a 20 ounce diet coke for only $6)

I would have had a real meal but didn't have my proper papers on me to fill out the loan application to buy a hamburger.
