It is not the destination.....it is the journey....that is a destination of its own.

I ran across this and figured I would post it.  There are fellow bloggers like OLDNFO, Murphy, Juvat and many others that spend a lot of time in airplanes.....Me I just Fix them.   The pics are from my folder of blog fodder.

"It's hard man 'cause the security in the airport, customs, immigration, they really need to learn the difference between a terrorist and an Indian. Terrorists hate Americans. Indians hate each other. A terrorist will blow up an airport. Indians like to work at the airport. That would be counter-productive". --Russell Peters

"People say there's delays on flights. Delays, really? New York to California in five hours, that used to take 30 years, a bunch of people used to die on the way there, have a baby, you would end up with a whole different group of people by the time you got there. Now you watch a movie and go to the toilet and you're home". --Louis C.K.

"My fear of flying starts as soon as I buckle myself in and then the guy up front mumbles a few unintelligible words then before I know it I'm thrust into the back of my seat by acceleration that seems way too fast and the rest of the trip is an endless nightmare of turbulence, of near misses. And then the cabbie drops me off at the airport". --Dennis Miller

"When you hand someone a camera, why do they act like you just asked them to dissemble a bomb? They take it and they're like 'What do I do... I don't really... ha-huh...' Yeah, it's the button on the top right where it always is since the beginning of time!" --Dane Cook

"People come back from flights and tell you a story like it's a horror story. They act like their flight was like a cattle car in the 1940s in Germany. That's how bad they make it sound. They're like, 'It was the worst day of my life. We didn't board for 20 minutes and they made us sit there on the runway for 40 minutes'. Oh really? What happened next? Did you fly in the air, incredibly, like a bird? Did you partake in the miracle of human flight you non-contributing zero?'" --Louis C.K. 

"Now, they say that New Zealand is beautiful and I do not know... because after 22 hours on a plane any landmass would be beautiful". --Lewis Black

"The shuttle is the worst $20 you'll ever save. It adds 90 minutes to whatever a Town Car or cab would have been. You have the unenviable choice between being dropped off last or being dropped off first and having a bunch of losers who can't afford cab fare and have no friends or loved ones with cars knowing exactly where you live". --Adam Carolla, from "In Fifty Years we'll All Be Chicks"
