LOST
We learned another important life lesson on this week's episode of LOST. One which we may all apply soon, as holiday travel season kicks into gear.
Don't fly in the back of the plane. Flying in the back of the plane sucks. Flying in the front, not so great either. It's way expensive because First Class is always in the front. But at least they give you a nicer seat and non-stop drinks. Sit in the middle of the plane. It's just common sense. Think about it. The middle is where the wings are, so if the plane breaks apart the middle is the section that has a chance of staying aloft. There are more emergency exits: one or two over each wing, whereas the front and back often only have one exit each.
Flying in the back of the plane sucks. The middle crash lands on the beach, but the back lands in the water. With the sharks. Fewer people survive. And if you do survive, you don't have the benefit of having stuff from the plane, because it crashed in the water. So you don't have the passenger list, which means you can't figure out for sure who was on the plane with you and who is a "mole" for the crazy island people. Also, doctors sit in the middle or the front. You're going to need a doctor. Not a first-year med school dropout psychologist. Especially since the first aid kit went down with the rest of the tail section, in the ocean.
And because you don't know who the "mole" is, the few survivors of your flight get killed off or kidnapped, so you get all paranoid and the only way to survive it to become like this psycho bitch. When just a few weeks ago you were actually pretty pleasant.
And when you finally manage to take shelter in a bunker, do you get the one with the pantry full of food and shampoo? Do you get a working shower, and a record player, and a washing machine and a dryer, and a library, and a home gym, brother? No. Because you were not in the middle of the plane. When you sit in the back of the plane, you get the burned out bunker with a bible and a glass eye. Seriously. How useful is that? I mean, I know you're hard up for medical supplies, but a glass eye is going to be useful for, um, let's see... entertaining the kids? Oh, but they've been kidnapped. Because they sat in the back. Loser.
So in your holiday travels, get to the airport early so you can check in while more seats are available. And get a seat in the middle.
