A former Navy SEAL who has said he killed Osama bin Laden has been banned by Delta Air Lines after removing his face mask during a flight."Thank you for your service, sir. Now please cover your germhole."
Robert O’Neill tweeted about his ban on Thursday, and the airline confirmed the action.
“Part of every customer’s commitment prior to traveling on Delta is the requirement to acknowledge our updated travel policies, which includes wearing a mask," the airline said in a statement. "Failure to comply with our mask-wearing mandate can result in losing the ability to fly Delta in the future.”
Look, dude, it's Delta's airplane. If they say you gotta sing "I'm a Little Teapot" to fly, then you sing "I'm a Little Teapot" or you don't fly and I don't care if you shot thirty-seven Osama Bin Ladens or not.
Now stow your bag and sit down, the rest of us kids have connecting flights we gotta catch.
Jesus, my personalized version of Hell will be filled with all the "Special" people I've run into on airlines.
"No, honey, don't worry; when they said 'all carry-on bags must fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you', they didn't mean you."
I know that 'being a sheeple and doing what you're told' does *not* come easily to some people, because it sure doesn't come easily to me, but the miracle of modern air travel only goes smoothly if everyone on the plane does exactly that.
Frickin' swallow your dignity for twenty-nine minutes so we can all get to Detroit on time and then you can go on a tirade to the gate agent when we get there.
