Is that the one you're referring to?
Ah yes because nothing beats it when you're flying with a guy with zero personality who stares out the window on a 6 hour transcon.

BTW, he never said it. It's an AM radio myth.

I agree. I'm frequently in the jumpseat on the E170/175. It's not too bad...I'm 5' 10", but the other day, for the first time, both pilots moved their seats back and out, and for the first time ever, I was in heaven in the jumpseat. I could extend my legs a little, at least while at cruise. It was one of the more comfortable jumpseat rides I've had.

Don't get me wrong, I'm always appreciative for the ride to or from work. And I'd never ask the pilots to do this....it's their flight. But don't feel like you have to keep the seat forward, unless that's where you want to sit.

It was also determined that Al Gore was an AM radio myth.

I'm not having a people day today.
Oh god. You ruined an already mediocre story with backwards logic and terrible cultural misunderstanding.

Everyone is capable of spilling cokes. That isn't generational.

I know baby boomers more attached to their phones and incapable of conversation than many millenials I know.

The fact that you blame a generation on coke spilling and phones just proves to me you view everyone else as the problem and if that's the case... you are probably the problem.

But don't listen to me. I'm of different age and not you... so I must be wrong.

The logic of some people is unbelievable.

Just wipe the coke off your shirt and and suck it up instead of complaining to the internet about it.

That's something a millennial would do.

CNN 1999


BLITZER: I want to get to some of the substance of domestic and international issues in a minute, but let's just wrap up a little bit of the politics right now.

Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily bring to this process?

GORE: Well, I will be offering -- I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.

But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
It's just too funny to let go!!
