[nagdu] Bus seating

[Jewel S.]

Well, I'm sure that makes for a much more comfortable flight!
Nowadays, you'd have to pay for that pillow and blanket (they charge
for them these days), but that is quite humourous how much they make
sure y'all are doing well. I wonder what they would say if you said a
glass of water for you and a glass of gin for him? *giggle* Just
kidding, of course!
