1 Passenger: {panicking} Snakes! There are snakes on the wing! Tearing apart the engines!
2 Steward: Get a grip, man! I don't see anything out there.
3 Passenger: Enough is enough! I have had it with these gosh-darned snakes on this gosh-darned plane!
4 Steward: Language, sir!

I was worried about using such graphic language in what I regard as a comic that is safe for children. But I think in this case it's justified by the dramatic necessity. And kids need to grow up some day - you can't shield them from this sort of foul language forever. So I make no apologies for it.

2018-10-17 Rerun commentary: That sure is a wide aisle in the plane.

Having long legs, my tactic for sitting more or less comfortably in a plane seat often involves extending my leg out into the aisle. You'd be amazed how many people don't look where they're walking when walking down a plane aisle in flight. The other problem is I live in constant fear of a cabin crew member pushing the food trolley into my shin.
