How to handle irritating seat-mates on a plane

[Steelsun]

If you are sitting next to someone on a plane who irritates you, follow these instructions:

1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.

2. Remove your laptop.

3. Start up.

4. Make sure the guy who is annoying you, can see the screen.

5. Close your eyes.

6. Tilt your head up to the sky.

7. Move your lips as if praying.

8. Then hit this link: http://boortz.com/mp3/archive/countdown.swf

Or when the conversation starts ask what they do for a living. When they ask the same question, tell them you're an IRS tax evation investigator followed by one more prying question about their work.

Everything ends real quick.
