Contemplating a plane trip?
Permalink  

If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane or train:
1.  Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.
2.  Remove your laptop.
3.  Turn it on.
4.  Make sure the guy who won't leave you alone can see the screen.
5.  Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.
6.  Then hit this link:

While the immediate result of this may be enjoyable, having the flight canceled and being arrested would not be.

The best method I've found to shut up a chatty stranger, is to get out my Book of Mormon, and ask him if he'd like to know more about Jesus Christ.

Yup, that's still legal in most places, and very effective.

Good one Bok!

On my flight home from my mission in Utah I somehow managed to sit next to a Mormon the whole way, even after a plane change in Dallas.

I have not been on a plane since 8/01, so I have not been in the habit of practicing dealing with irritating passengers next to me.

But, now it is all dawning on me why in the past so many people next to me were whippin' out copies of the Book of Mormon, even when they had to grab it from out of my carry on!

 Oh the shame!  I was the annoying, irritating person sitting next to people!

Hey Bok! I use that technique on our neighbors too, especially when they "need" a lot of free babysitting services. I figure I teach their children the restored Gospel, and they can have all the babysitting they want.

One neighbor's daughter actually asked her mom if they ever died, would she be able to come live with our family... She regularly goes to primary with one of my daughters, too, and she's a delightful person.

Maybe all this Gospel stuff is good for something!? :)
