A few airplane questions

<p>Okay,</p>

<p>why is it that the plane's nose always points up during take off but is in its correct possition during landing.</p>

<p>When you urinate or take a dump, where the hell does it go?</p>

<p>why are there ashtrays when they make it abundantly clear that smoking is forbidden?</p>

<p>why do youir ears hurt when landing but not when taking off?</p>

<p>and why does airplane food taste like mule excrement (did I spell that right?)?</p>

<p>Lift and drag.</p>

<p>When you urinate or take a dump, where the hell does it go?</p>

<p>Into a big tank, until the plane lands, then a big truck comes and sucks it out. (this is part of what I do in the military, nothing like seeing a log float down the big tube)</p>

<p>why are there ashtrays when they make it abundantly clear that smoking is forbidden</p>

<p>A lot of planes were built before smoking was banned.</p>

<p>why do youir ears hurt when landing but not when taking off?</p>

<p>Too much wax,</p>

<p>It would be better, but noone wants to pay an additional $20 a ticket</p>

<p>additional $20??? which airline? upgrades run to several hundred to thousands</p>

<p>so crap isn't just released into the air? That's a relief.</p>

<p>what airline would charge an extra $20?</p>

<p>I would definitely pay extra for better food.</p>

<p>When I flew to Japan, the food was excellent. When I flew back, it wasn't that great. (For airline standards)</p>

<p>When I fly to my dad's, which is only about 1 1/2 hours, we get pretzels and a cup of soda.</p>

<p>first class has good food</p>

<p>he means that if airline tickets across the board were raised $20, then food would be better - he's not talking upgrading from coach to first. but people want to fly from jfk to orlando for $99 a ticket and thats why the food sucks.</p>

<p>I took a five-hour domestic flight, during mealtime, and they didn't serve us anything. :mad:</p>

<p>I flew to Ecuador, and on the way back to the States they didn't have a single vegetarian meal for me, even though we had specified vegetarian meals. (The stewardesses were also rude when we inquired about a meat-free sandwich.) So I ate my family's salads. That is not satisfactory. :mad: </p>

<p>I took a 45-minute domestic flight in Ecuador, and they served us a cute little boxed meal--consisting of juice, a granola bar thing, and a couple of chocolate candies--as soon as we had reached cruising altitude. The flight was so short that I didn't even have time to finish my box of juice--I was still sucking on the straw when we landed. :) They would never have done a thing like that in the US. And we say we're the greatest country in the world. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Anniushka I must agree airlines are not very catering to vegetarians. While I am not a vegetarian, I have friends who are and they really get the short end of the stick when it comes to food on planes and other unusual circumstances.</p>

<p>i hate to be rude, but i'd really just like to say 'deal with it'.
you chose to be vegetarians, and planes are not resturants</p>

<p>how do i make my own tread?</p>

<p>Hansen--</p>

<p>Some people who are vegetarians don't choose to be vegetarians--it's part of their religion. This isn't the case for me, but it is for some. Also, would you be saying "deal with it" if I were a Jew or Muslim who was upset that there was pork on the menu and no alternative meal for me?</p>

<p>Yeah airline food is crap. Especially airlines like United. When you fly to Japan definitely pay extra to fly JAL or Singapore Airlines. LOL anyway I thought the nose pointed up when it landed too. I think crappy food is exclusive to United, American, NWA, and other big American carriers. I heard jetBlue has good snacks.</p>

<p>actually i would.
just pick out the pork then
how am i justified by going into a gas station bathroom and complaining its too dirty to use?
no one forced you to eat it, if you dont eat it, you wont die (hopefully).
its a couple of hours, everyone hates flights, everyone's ****ed, everyone have their own problems, yours just happen to be food.</p>

<p>also, would a tall person complain that their leg room was not adequet on an airplane and that there should be special treatment for them? would a fat person complain their food serving portion is too small on an airplane??</p>

<p>plus, airlines dont serve pork. you hear "chicken or beef"</p>

<p>lol hansen. here comes the flaming....</p>

<p>well he was being unreasonable. the type of person who'd sue mcdonald for MAKING them fat. (or in this case, airlines for making them eat what they dont want to or can't)</p>

<p>Oh, for God's sake. Is the "he" you're referring to me? I'm female. I thought "Anniushka" was a pretty feminine screenname.</p>

<p>And I just got done chewing someone out for ignorantly dissing Islam. I'm sick of being angry at people with whom I disagree.
...I will say that it does suck to go hungry because of my self-imposed dietary restrictions. Can you understand that? And I'm not suing anybody. I was barely angry enough about the situation to use the :mad: emoticon. :rolleyes: :p</p>

<p>Have a nice night.</p>

<p>you know what airline food is good? food served on Domestic airlines in OTHER countries. I swear, the airline food I get whenever im travelling to other cities in India is sooooo gooood</p>

<p>imran, would that apply to all countries? lol. bec. no matter what airline I choose, the food still tastes like crap.
The last time I was on a plane I ate this horribly expensive (you have to pay on board, it's not included in the ticket) chicken sandwitch. And I had to wash my mouth out because it tasted so bad!
Then I bought a cup of hot chocolate to get rid of the horible tase!</p>

<p>lufthansa food is good</p>
