The concluding lines from monologue “Say Anything” are stuck in my head.
Lloyd: So when you hear the smoking sign go ‘ding’, you know everything’s going to be okay.
But you know what? The “no smoking” sign always stays on now (and we’ll it should). At the same time, on this flight, the pilot has patently REFUSED to turn off the fasten seat belt sign. There isn’t any turbulence. Hell, he just walked out of the cockpit and was chatting up the flight attendants. So it’s not like his top concern is worry about our safety. Maybe he just forgot…
Sigh.
What do you do when there is no ding?
I’m doing it. I’m unbuckling my belt and moving about the cabin. I’m a rebel… but I’m not alone.
Rise up!
