Rabbis on a plane (and you thought your flight was bad)

The last time I was flying, I didn’t really enjoy the experience. For one thing I was overtired and jet lagged. The narrow seats that barely recline at all didn’t help nor did the fact that the flight was delayed by more than an hour. On top of this, there was a baby of the plane crying. I’ve been on worse flights, however. At least the baby was not crying the entire time and at least it was on the other side of the aircraft.
However, what makes me realize just how much worse I could have really had it is this video. As a follow up to a previous post about a number of Israeli rabbis who flew over the country blowing horns and praying to try to prevent a bad flu season, we now have a video of the event.
Oy Vey!
At least they chartered the aircraft and didn’t all just book the same commercial flight. Now that would be the flight from hell for the other passengers!

Geez….I must need new glasses. I thought it said “RABBITS On A Plane” when I first read it.

I wonder if the plane just circled and returned to where it took off or if it traveled from one place to another. I was just thinking of the Priceline thing. “When airlines have leftover seats they let Priceline fill them…” Imagine if these guys decided to let their surplus seats get sold off and someone bought it haplessly thinking they got a deal on a flight.
Okay, that’s probably not a realistic thing to happen, but it would be a good plot for a sitcom episode.
That is way way worse than a crying baby.
One question about Judaism and rabbis too. Do they believe that their prayers are not heard by god or that they won’t work if they just say them and don’t shout and wine on the top of their lungs? Does it matter that they keep doing that thing where they rock back and forward?

Even using the intercom on this one. Wow. Too bad they didn’t have airplanes or electric PA systems in centuries past. All the prayers for the black plague to go away and everything didn’t work because I guess you’re supposed to be flying for them to work.
I feel bad for the pilots :-p

This is proof that the creation of the state of Israel was a great idea. Make a little country away from most of us and declare it the homeland of the Jews and all the really crazy whacked out ones will go there because they believe it is the destiny layed out by god.
Now lets create a similar state for the Christians and all the wacky fundy ones can run there to be together.
I suggest a portion of Antarctica or perhaps we could retask the Yucca Mountain facility.
