I wonder if this is an appropriate time to rehash and old story of mine. Back in
81 when I was doing an Asian tour, we were on a CX flight from Hong Kong to
Manila. Anyway, lots of the locals were on the flight, as to be expected. Some
of the crap that they brought on board was amazing, including one guy who had a
kayak. No shit. He had it in the aisle.
When I recounted this tale, JB was telling us that he's seen pax bring washing
machines on board...
Things might've changed a bit since then, it seems that stupidity is still a
rampant virus that refuses to die...
