Woman Sues American Airlines For Not Protecting Her From Masturbating Man

So much to say.  Here’s a list:
- Michael was too proper to mention the “in her hair” part. $200,000 seems quite reasonable for that. 

- But how about suing the masturbator, not the airlines.

- The Star-Telegram article mentions that she could not get the attention of the flight crew.  How is that possible?  If that happened to me there isn’t a soul on the plane that wouldn’t know it.

- What would she spend the money on? Imagine if she won and went out and bought a shiny red convertible with the money.  Her friends ask: “Is this the car?” Major ewwww factor there.

She is suing the airlines because they have more money than the masterbater.  I can’t imagine her not being able to attract attention of the crew or other passengers by screaming “Stop jacking off you pervert”, “Bomb!” or “Hijack!” Maybe she isn’t competent to walk around without a nanny.
When I was 105 pound, naive, 18 year old in the Air Force one of my superiors thought it would be funny to stick his finger in my ear.  Without thinking, I kicked him in the shin as hard as I could with my heavy army shoe.  (Sigh!  I can still hear the satisfactory loud thunk of leather against bone.) I could tell that it hurt so bad he wanted to cry, but all of HIS superiors were watching.  No one every touched me again.  Payback is a dish best enjoyed publicly.

Man, I knew there were some juvenile, sigh-inspiring puns we were missing.  I think Grizzly by accident might have stumbled upon the best of them all:

High-Jacking

Mile-high Jacking

(I’ll stop now)

Grizzly, my inner 13-year-old thanks you from it’s hormone-ridden heart.

That is one sick man, and Grizzly is right. The only to deal with such sickos is not through a lawsuit, but to deck them right then and there.
