I fit right in.
BIG argument from a woman who has 5 bags.
"I WILL NOT CHECK ONE!  EVEN FOR FREE!  THERE ARE THINGS IN HERE THAT CAN BREAK!"

AMD-20.
How many boarding zones ARE there?
  I'm in 9.

67: I'm in 9. They just announced that if you don't have a boarding group, board with 7.  So we are on Team Behind Team Last Place.

66: I shouldn't chortle snort laugh before i board a plane.

67: The airlines are playing a new discount ticket game: we will sell you a cheap ticket but then subject you to psychological warfare.

b1: Because Homeless Santa beats Coy Joke Guy in Sociological Roshambo.

D: And smug quick-witted answer guy beats homeless Santa but loses to coy joke guy. I get it.
