No more plastic knives

[TheLoneGunman]

In a strange move, PLASTIC kinves (i.e. for spreading cream cheese, not for murdering people) are banned from airport restaurants.

This will not present a problem on airplanes as they will gladly hand you a metal knife or even a steak knife if you need one while on board.

Have they lost their minds or did they have none to begin with?

I thought I heard most airlines have banned silverware on flights. I know at least one airline (America West) has banned meal service altogether.

It was a cost saving measure.

If there is no silverware, how do you cut your steak?
How do you eat your salad?

Maybe they'll plop it down in front of you and let you decide what you want to do with it.

I heard the first class customers get their food served in a dog dish and have their hands tied behind their backs. Heck, my dog doesn't use silverware and he has no complaints!

Coach customers are only served grapes and popcorn. The flight attendants lob them randomly in the air and you have to catch it in your mouth.

I would have no problem with airlines eliminating meal service. Sure, we'd have to take our own meals onto the plane, but at least we'd have something we like. Booze too, for that matter. Regular beverage service would suit me just fine.

Hey priceliner!! I flew by first class because of priceline, since they had no space in the airplane. And I had to take the first class sits damn it!!! Such a rip off :D

And we can always use our hand for food, as long as airlines provide us with enough napkins. :)

Perhaps they should instead offer an additional choice:

Traditional Afghani cuisine personally blessed by Bin Laden

Then, before the flight begins, they ask all passengers who want this meal to raise their hand...

Then the air marshalls arrest them and escort them off the plane!!

I bet many would be dumb enough to fall for it too.

in an air-tight metal coffin, the burrito's intrinsic superiority should be questioned...
i'd smack the fat bastard who busted out a burrito next to me on the plane...

burritos - the other classic example of sublimation.

[welfareloser]

too funny...

yeah, i was just about to ask who the heck was serving steaks and salads.

best airplane food: air india to britain - curry. icelandair - fresh-baked bread and fresh fish. mmmmmmmm... and free beer. vikingbjor, mmmmmm.....

southwest airlines - bigmouthed bozos throwing packets of peanuts at you and singing. grrrr.... if ever i saw an excuse for air rage, that was IT...

but those plastic knives, when broken (which consistently happens when you try to use them) make really nasty little sharp shards. with some superglue and toiletpaper rolls fromt he bathroom and some macguyver-style ingenuity... you could make a dangerously spikey bludgeoning weapon.

i'd say the forks are way more dangerous than the knives, tho. with a lucky shot, you could almost break the skin with the tines. and don't even get me STARTED on the possible eye injuries...
