On The Plane
Passengers on a flight from Dallas to Los Angeles reportedly freaked out when they spotted a rat on board. No one airborne wants to see a rat running around. And yet...
Mel, one of the passengers, turned to the man sitting beside him.
“Mel's the name. I'm going to a dry-cleaning convention.”
“Dry cleaning, huh?”.
Otto Franzblau had forgotten to pick up his dry cleaning before the flight. As he explained to Mel, he was giving a paper on medical laboratory experimentation in Los Angeles.
Dry-cleaning? Laboratory experiments? Could anyone blame the rat for trying to get off the plane?
