My 2 Cents

Parents, lay off the drugs when you’re naming your children. No seriously, just read this little ditty about Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.

Don’t Drink and Procreate!
Thanks

Before reading this post you might want to take a moment and read this story

Ticks on a plane delay flight for six hours

Now my first reaction upon reading this headline was to think Tick as in Tick Tock or ticking clock or Bomb Scare, but upon reading the story itself I’m actually dumbfounded by the stupidity of the whole thing.

The idea that they would completely cancel the flight over the fact that a single insect was spotted baffles me. I’m also quite baffled by the line “between one and three ticks were discovered” Isn’t between one and three also known as 2?

Yes, I know ticks can cause lime disease, so this is the way I see it. If you see a tick you can either A. Avoid it or B. Squish it. The leap of logic it takes to go all the way to report it to the stewardess, evacuate the plane and ground it is just dumbfounding.

1 to 3 tiny insects common in just about all of the U.S. grounded a plane and caused a massive inconvenience. I’d imagine that this time of year it’s not unusual at all for ticks to end up on Planes, Trains, Boats, Cabs and any other form of transportation and if we actually shutdown any transportation type where a tick was seen (Or a spider, Or a mosquito (Hey they cause malaria) Or any other insect) we’d bring our transportation infrastructure to a grinding halt.

Come on people let’s use some common sense

OH and imagine this in my best Samuel L. Jackson voice (Which isn’t very good at all)

“I’m Tired of these MotherF**king Ticks on this MotherF**king Plane.”
