Blue Oval/Dan Edwards wrote: NASHVILLE, Tenn.(AP) It is considered polite to light a match after passing gas. Not while on a plane. An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning after a passenger lit a match to disguise the scent of flatulence, authorities said. The Dallas-bound flight was diverted to Nashville after several passengers reported smelling burning sulfur from the matches, said Lynne Lowrance, spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority. All 99 passengers and five crew members were taken off and screened while the plane was searched and luggage was screened. The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal a "body odor," Lowrance said. She had an unspecified medical condition, authorities said. "It's humorous in a way but you feel sorry for the individual, as well," she said. "It's unusual that someone would go to those measures to cover it up." The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the plane. The woman, who was not identified, was not charged in the incident. It could have been worse, she could have been searched by Homeland Security officers, who were looking for a bugle. Jeebus, give the girl a break, when I fart on a plane the other passengers try to open the windows. Heh heh, poor lady ... but on the other hand, the reporting passengers did the right thing. Reporting strange odors, particularly burning sulfur, is a good idea. Now what to do about those folks who travel and have not bathed in several days, do not use deodorant and emit a ghastly smell similar to that of rotted Limburger cheese? I used to travel every week in my last couple of years in the Army. One time I sat next to a guy on an Eastern flight from National Airport to Miami and then on to Panama. He actually apologized for his terrible body odor when we sat down, and explained that he had a medical condition which caused his -- are you ready for this -- smegma to have a foul odor. Every time I spread some ancient Gorgonzola cheese onto crackers I have to repress the memory of that day. And I like the "when I fart on a plane the other passengers try to open the windows." comment. And I thought I was the only one that happened to! Fragrantly, Dave |
