So when I do go to the States, I can't bring my emotional support elephant?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I usually just drink heavily on flights

It's as though they'd never even tried to drink some courage.

Ideally I would prefer neither but if I had to choose, some smelly, noisy, snot-nosed kid is going to come in second.

Wait until the peacock takes to the air inside the plane,  land its 10 lb ass on your head, sinks it’s talons into your scalp, and shit on your shoulders.

Still better than some kid crying his fucking ass off for the whole flight.

Maybe if you have a doctor's note and threaten to go to the media, they'll let your "emotional support" elephant on lol.

Lol @ "emotional support peacock".

Sounds like a sarcastic nickname for me.

Sure you can. I hear that you walk around with his trunk all day anyway.

I'm skeptical about all these alleged 'support animals' that seem to be everywhere these days. I think it's just a sneaky way to bring your pet to places where normally you can't bring pets.

And a peacock, for pete's sake? Those things are loud, I can't imagine sitting next to one of those on a flight!

Quote:United Airlines confirmed that the exotic animal was barred from the plane Saturday because it “did not meet guidelines for a number of reasons, including its weight and size.”

“We explained this to the customer on three separate occasions before they arrived at the airport,” an airline spokeswoman said in a statement Tuesday to The Washington Post.

What worries me the most is the possible distress to the animal itself, it's fine if i like my peacock with me on a flight i mean who wouldn't like their choice of poultry to go with them, but the poor peacock may not like being the experience.. selfish bastards.

This could all be avoided if they'd just pump nitrous into the cabin.
