Great story! Made me really feel (even more) for my co-travelers over the Atlantic as I vomited for hours, was hustled quickly through customs. continued on the connecting van, and lay on the floor in the airport.

Oh my gosh I am so, so, sorry for you! I practically have a pathological fear of the flu and vomiting. You definitely deserve some sort of award for going through that.

Sorry about vomit-boy! For that matter, I’m sorry FOR vomit-boy. And his parents too, because I can totally imagine how mortified I’d be in their place. Anyway, I love when you tell stories, Jenny! First, because you always pick awesome stories to tell; and next, because you just tell them so damn well. Now then… where’s my “lemons-to-cabernet” t-shirt?!

As always, an outstanding story that made me laugh out loud.

T-shirt ideas are running through my head but I feel like I’m stealing so will stop.

I am so sad I won’t be there! Was gonna fly to Seattle, rent a car, the whole bit but NO. WAH.

I think you should get some “When life gives you lemons, make Cabernet” T-shirts printed up. You will be an eBay billionaire in no time.

Dave2: Actually, I think it’s saddest to act like Paris Hilton when you ARE Paris and do have the money to back it up. I mean, she could buy herself an education, right? Theoretically? All airplane girl had were her boots.

Welcome to my life. I had a number of vomiting passenger stories, but my favorite was this girl dressed as Paris Hilton… bottle-blonde hair, tight jeans, cowboy hat, bedazzled cling-shirt, pouty pink lipstick, and those stupid gigantic over-sized sunglasses in pink. She not only wanted to LOOK like Paris Hilton, she ACTED like Paris Hilton (which is sad and kind of pathetic when you don’t have the money to back it up).

So anyway, Trailer Trash Paris and her boyfriend get on the small plane where she makes this major production over everything she says and does. I’m across the aisle and am forced to listen to her stupid crap and cabin steward abuse. THEN… without warning… she PROJECTILE VOMITS. She’s in the front row, so the vomit hits the partition and covers her and her boyfriend in spewage. This causes a chain reaction (as it usually does) and soon two other people were vomiting when they got a whiff of the hurl.

Trailer Trash Paris cried for the entire remaining 20 minutes of the flight. Not because she was sick. Not because she made other people vomit. Not because she redecorated the plane with vomit. She was crying because the vomit got on her suede Paris Hilton impostor boots.

I sneaked an iPhone picture of her when we first got on the plane (not after, eww!) because I think posers are hilarious… remind me to show it to you because she really DOES kind of look like Paris Hilton if you’re drunk and squinting a bit. Hey, it may actually BE Paris Hilton! Except I can’t imagine Paris Hilton crying over a pair of boots.

That is awesome. I mean, not the puke, of course. Now I want a glass of wine…at 10 am.

This is the second post I am reading today involving puke. I’m telling my stomach not to get any bright ideas.

Love the last line of this post.

See you soon!
