Everyone has those zany moments at work when they say – hey this is like a Dilbert cartoon. C’mon, be honest. You know I am talking about you. I even know a coworker who says he wants to turn the daily events at TMC into a TV show. Well as we know with the success of the sitcom, Just Shoot Me, publishing companies can make for great comedic programming. Ditto for Mary Tyler Moore – “Ohh Mister Grahhnt.”<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
But what if someone was to make a satirical airline show? Let’s say Airplane – but not the movie but a new series. I would imagine an episode where passengers begin the boarding process and a few minutes into the boarding the gate agent abruptly says, everyone please refrain from boarding there is no pilot on the airplane.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Then passengers are asked to go and sit down and wait for a new pilot to arrive from Indianapolis – a 2 hour wait.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
This could be really funny and show off how incompetent the management of the airline was. I would laugh at such programming – really I would.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Of course my concern would be the believability of it all. After all, how could you board a plane with no pilot – right? Could never happen – right?<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
If you saw such an experience you would really be in a state of disbelief – perhaps the same state my fellow passengers and I are right now at O’Hare airport where this situation is actually playing out. This is funny – very funny. I am laughing so hard I am crying. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
