Frisky Passenger Faces Prison
Ever take a trip with your spouse or significant other, and suddenly find yourself "in the mood" at 20,000 feet? You may want to keep that affection in check. Some guy from California might go to jail for getting it on with his girlfriend in the air.
Carl William Persing has been convicted of interfering with flight attendants and crew members after he and his girlfriend "made other passengers uncomfortable" by "kissing" and "embracing." After they asked him to take his tongue out of his girlfriend's mouth, Persing got miffed, threatened the attendants -- twice -- and found himself in an awkward conversation with FBI officials upon arrival in North Carolina.
Sounds like he was acting like a jerk, so fair enough. I know I wouldn't want to watch anyone suck face -- let alone when I'm stuck with them for a cross-country flight. But because it all happened on an airplane, Persing was breaking federal law, and has thus been convicted of a federal felony -- which means he'll probably serve jail time.
Wow. I can only imagine the conversation with other inmates while he's in the slammer.
"Why are you in here?"
"I robbed a bank. What about you?"
"I. Uh. Made out with my girlfriend on an airplane."
Doesn't exactly make him sound like a force to be reckoned with.

As an American living in Buenos Aires Argentina where kissing in public places is the norm, and I mean kissing. I sometimes want to yell out "Get a room". But I am living in a different culture where boys and girls, men and women greet each-other with a kiss on the cheek, and I mean everyone.
I lived in Hollywood California for forty years, and I know know the feeling of being kissed on the cheek by a male friend --that ackward moment of macho bullshit.
Now to the guy and girl on the the plane,I say Sieze the moment,But ask for a blanket, There used to be a time when it was an honor to be a member of the Mile High Club. Now as the stu's get older and there sweet flowers of yesterday shivel, and their memory of the time Billy Joel nailed her in the head, is only a secret moment with her vibrator on a rainyday.
Kissing in public maybe inappropriate, It may push a button in each of us that says" I remember when we were that way".I wrote a song once that said, "We never kiss in the penetrating way that used to turn you on".
We live in an uptight world now, but when things get me down, I go to my memories of the sixties where we lived in the moment of love , a time of --fuck-it who cares what they think,take another toke and forget it!!!!!---R-----------------

After they asked him to take his tongue out of his girlfriend's mouth
According to other news reports, it wasn't her mouth that his tongue was in...
