    When I was boarding a flight in Las Vegas, I noticed the pilot wolfing down a plate of tamales. I told him tamales are my favorite, and he handed me what he hadn’t eaten.

    Yes, to the horror of my family, I ate them and they were delicious. Tamales are the IDGAF where they came from treat.

      Why would they be horrified? You’re literally trusting them with your life, and if the tamales aren’t safe to eat then you having food poisoning is comparatively minor.

      Or was it that you deprived the pilot of vital sustenance and morale boosting food needed to safely fly the plane?

        I left out the part about my food allergies, and to be fair an airplane isn’t a great place to risk becoming violently ill, but it was tamales.

          Well that solidly changes the context. :)

          It’s always been a dream of mine to down an aircraft with nothing but the horrors of my body, but everyone this far has managed to keep me away from dairy before we travel by plane. Spoilsports.
