PRIORITY SEATING 100 OFF FOR SELFISH #%^*A !

Spewing Green Liquid JUNE 10, 2007 in WEIRD PEOPLE STORIES I was waiting in the concourse for a flight out of Miami. I noticed a woman with wild eyes acting fidgety and erratically. I thought to myself that I hoped she wasn't going to board the same plane. After boarding the plane and after the door was closed, I was relieved that she wasn't on the same flight. Suddenly the door opened and she and a male companion boarded. As she walked down the aisle I noticed that a foamy green liquid started spewing out of her mouth. She started yelling gibberish. Her companion, who looked normal, seemed to take her rantings and and the green spittle in stride. For some reason, the airline flight crew seemed to ignore her as well. I felt like I was in a Twilight Zone episode. As the plane engines started, I feared that she was actually going to remain for the duration of the flight. Finally, to the relief of all, the couple was escorted off the plane by the flight crew Signed, Living in the Twilight Zone
