    Here we go…but not on a Boeing. In fact fuck flying, I rather drive while a rugby player brushes my balls with a rusty stainless wire brush dipped in lemons juice. Tanks you can keep your shitty planes.

      For what it’s worth, you wouldn’t be on one of these anyway. I don’t believe the MD-11 operates as a passenger plane these days. It’s useful for freight companies who don’t care quite as much about fuel efficiency, but for passenger airlines there are far better options.

      Also this is a McDonnell-Douglas fuckup, one Boeing did warn the operators about.

        Ah okay! But still no thanks to flying. I got better things to do to myself than subject me to uncontrollable situations specially with TSA. Soon we’ll have to get fully naked and fly fully naked “to be safe”.
