don’t drink a twelve pack the night plus two whiskey & diet cokes before you are flying first thing in the morning.
Oh boy!

Unless you work for an airline whose name ends in West!
Sorry, someone had to do it.

Looky here, if I’m gonna be responsible for getting 200-plus souls safely to their designation, dang if I ain’t taking at least a shot of Liquid Courage before I get in the cockpit!
I heard a guy on “Last Comic Standing” the other night joking about how it would be funny to get hammered and go to an airport lounge dressed as a pilot. I might try that soon. Be on the lookout at TIA! I’ll be the the guy in the captain’s hat ordering the John Lee Hooker special: One bourbon, one scotch and one beer.

Doesn’t that airline’s name end with “worst”?
And Wifey, that’s good advice…from one who downed too much Courvoisier the night before an early a.m. flight once upon a time…yuck.

Wifey’s advice was good, but getting hammered on the first night of vacation is a time-honored tradition. (As is flying with a hangover.)
Aunt Lara’s Best pre-flight hangover breakfast: Scrambled eggs, bacon, buttered toast, fried taters and a cafe con leche chased with a big ol’ bloody Mary.
To The Carl: Dare ya. I’ll even take pictures. Scariest pilots I ever saw were at a bar at TIA. I have no idea what they were drinking. Probably Mountain Dew. What scared me stiff was they both looked about 12 years old. I’d put my money on the experienced pilot with a John Lee Hooker Special under his belt.
