FUNNY GUY

This was the top story on my local news last night. I couldn’t help but crack up at the sheer idiocy of our country and the morons inhabiting it at this point in history. You have a moron on an airplane who sneezes and then makes a bad joke that he has ebola, stating “I have Ebola, you are all screwed.” We all know idiots like this guy who make inappropriate jokes at the wrong time and the wrong place. You shake your head and mentally note what a douchebag they are. The moron tells everyone he was joking. In a rational world where common sense takes precedence, everyone would go about their business, exit the plane and enjoy their vacation. No, we don’t live in a rational world. The authorities overreact and send goofballs in goofy looking blue hazmat suits onto the plane. The passengers are amused and rolling their eyes, as they know it is nothing but a farce.

They should have had Tommy from Goodfellas handle the situation. He’s a funny guy too.

SHOCKING moment men in Ebola protection suits board plane

This shocking moment occurred on US Airways Flight 850 when a man believed to have been in Africa and had Ebola was removed from the plane. Men in protection suits boarded the flight in what was later confirmed to be a Hazmat team rushed to meet US plane in Dominican Republic after passenger sneezed and yelled ‘I have Ebola!’

A US Airways flight from Philadelphia landed in the Dominican Republic and was immediately greeted by health officials after a passenger decided to make a stupid joke.

Four Hazmat officers rushed onto US Airways plane from Philadelphia.

He was detained and taken for testing, exclaiming: ‘I ain’t been to Africa’.

255 passengers forced to stay on board for two hours until he was cleared.

Punta Cana Airport bosses said he is ‘unbalanced’ and ‘did it for attention’.
