    I am registering with Conair from now on! The government pays “Real Pilots” to Fly “Real Convicts” for “Real Good Money”! They take better care of the Convicts than they do just average citizens. Either that or I’ll register to fly “The Danger Zone” with Top Gun. Somehow I think that experience will be a lot “Less Dangerous” than flying commercial these days! This week I will post the Airlines that get the thumbs up from me (aka Airlines that do not attract serial killers turned rap stars in droves) so look out for it on my blog! 🙂
