Something I read on Henry Rollins' blog reminded me of similar things I experienced on a little too many less-than-memorable flights...
At one point, the woman sitting across the aisle from me looked in my direction and proceeded to sneeze an incredible amount of her accumulated nasal storage all over the right side of my face, shoulder and arm. The trajectory was only outdone by the velocity of the particles. I just sat there with the sheen of whatever was in that woman’s nose and stared at her. She went back to whatever she was doing before she decided to coat me with her natural resin. I said to her, “That was disgusting.” She just looked at me and went back to staring at the screen in front of her. Was this our first date?
