"Nonetheless, I resent his implications and so am going to imagine him in a plane from an inferior airline as it falls out of the sky with him being sucked out of the gaping hole in the side."

This I read as I'm working my way through my first cuppa and deciding whose emails to ignore.

Heavens to Betsy penni, are you still steaming over missing the plane to Rio?? And here I have explained to you time and time again the reason for that Esmarelda woman with the funny accent giggling in the background when I called you from the Copa Palace. However, one more time if it makes you feel better. I had complained that the chocolate pillow mints were missing when they turned down the bed and I had indignantly demanded that they be furnished immediately. Esmarelda is the mint lady, nothing more. You can even call the hotel. They'll tell you. "Oh yes," they'll say, "she's the mint lady."

Actually I never for the most part have any qualms about air travel, despite logging around a million miles so far in my brief span of years. The only time I wonder about it is when I change flights, where for example I get an earlier flight or miss one and take a later one. Somewhere in that semiconscious morass dwells the question of whether or not I've just drawn the wrong card.
