Breaking news from Chicago – a passenger has been removed from a Southwest Airlines flight for repeatedly poking (not stabbing as originally rumored on Twitter) a fellow passenger with a pen. The unfortunate poking victim’s crime? Apparently, he was snoring. According to ABC7 in Chicago,
“A Southwest spokesperson said a passenger on Flight 577 was removed from the flight for “poking her seatmate with a pen to stop him from snoring.”
Remind me to sleep with one eye open next time I fly Southwest. 🙂 Here’s the scoop courtesy of ABC7.
Never put anything smaller than your elbow in your seat mate’s ribs…
@Brian,
Ha! All the “stabbing” tweets entertained me after learning that the guy was poked with a pen. Still…. don’t poke people with pens. 🙂
That is no way to treat a pen pal…
