Stuck in a Boeing

*Yawn*

As Stefan already mentioned, JFK was a mess yesterday. Here's how I killed time while sitting on board of a flight that was #10 in line for take-off.

To be sung to the tune of 'Stuck in a Moment' by U2
(see here for original lyrics)

"I'm not afraid
Of any plane in this world
There's no scary story
That I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find
A decent window seat
A neighbor who's quiet
And something to read.

I never thought you were a fool
Now you need to use the loo
You've gotta stand up straight
Shift your own weight
This flight is going nowhere, baby

You've got to get your bags together
You've got stuck in a boeing
And now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a boeing
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The meals that they bring
Since Chicken or Pasta
Is still better than nothing

I am still enchanted
By the movies they brought to me
Though the headphone was broken
And the screen I couldn't see

And you are such a fool
To book flights like you do
I know it's tough
It's been more than enough
Of what you don't really need now
More delay

You've got to get your bags together
You've got stuck in a boeing
And you can't get out of it

Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a boeing
And you can't get out of it

But I will certainly never again
Book a trip with American

I've got to run, which one is my gate,
It's a long way to go, and I'm far too late.

You've got to get your bags together
You've got stuck in a boing
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs longer
And if the day won't last
And if your bag got lost
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day turns to past
You'll earn bonus miles
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This flight will pass"
