Blazing Saddles in the Air

I love the smell of napalm in the morning
From the movie "Apocalypse Now "

I had visions of the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles where all the cowboys are sitting around the campfire eating beans and loud inharmonious farting ensued, when I saw the headline:

FLATULENCE FORCES AMERICAN AIRLINES PLANE TO LAND

Apparently some passenger with the IQ of a hoe handle decided to light a match on the plane to cover her malodorous stench.

Meanwhile, 99 passengers had an unscheduled visit to Nashville early Monday morning.

American Flight 1053, from Washington Reagan National Airport and bound for Dallas/Fort Worth, made an emergency landing here after passengers reported smelling struck matches, said Lynne Lowrance, a spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority.

Finally after bomb-sniffing dogs and FBI passenger interviews the guilty one admitted to what she had done. Everyone reboarded except stinky, who now climbs there is a medical condition. I didn't realize stupidity had such a classification.

There is a village looking for its lost member.

I guess she didn't see the episode of "Mythbusters" where they demonstrated that lighting a match doesn't actually burn off malodorous gases.

By the way, I've tagged you for a meme today, if you're interested in playing along.

ROFLMAO.. I'll have to get Robert to read this one. Not that he ever bothers with matches.
