Stink, Stank, Stunk
We've all endured our fair share of bothersome seatmates on long distance flights. Chatty Cathy, Larry Leviathan, Snoring Steve, and Peanut-Bladder Patty have all managed to make the oh-so-cramped seats of today's airlines even more confining and suffocating then they already are. In a disgruntled letter to the LA Times Travel Section, Marna Geisler of Santa Monica complains about yet another: Stinky Sam.
The response from the Times was rather surprising. Most American carriers do indeed have a Body-Odor Policy in which they can treat malodorous offenders in the same manner as the drunk, surly and bomb-toting: they can remove them from the flight.
I don't know about you, but I can sure think of some national carriers abroad that might want to think about instigating the same policy.
