Smelly passenger removed from plane

From CBC website...

An American who hoped to travel on a flight from Charlottetown to Montreal earlier this month was removed from the plane because he smelled.

'The safety and comfort of our passengers are certainly our top priorities.'— Manon Stuart, Air Canada Jazz
The Air Canada Jazz flight was waiting for takeoff when some passengers complained about the odour. Efforts were made to isolate the man from other passengers, but flight officials eventually decided to ask him to get off the plane.

"Because of privacy reasons, I really can't provide specific information on the passenger who was involved or the reason for the deplanement. But I can confirm that there was one passenger deplaned from our flight," Manon Stuart, a spokesperson for Air Canada Jazz, told CBC News Wednesday.

"As an airline, the safety and comfort of our passengers are certainly our top priorities, so any situation that is perceived as a threat to either the safety or the comfort of our passengers is taken seriously."

It's the pilot's decision whether to fly if there is a problem. Charlottetown airport officials said they were notified of the incident.

The man, who was visiting P.E.I., was allowed to travel on another flight the next morning.

I remember picking up a super family that had been on their trapline all winter, living in a small cabin, I loaded them all into the 206 and I remember that I could not have the heater on for the entire flight. Fortunately only an hour or so. I still have some photos of them and I remember how knocked out I was with their ability to live off the land all winter, but boy were they ripe!

I read somewhere that the only reason humans have survived is not because of our superior brains or opposable thumbs but because we stank so badly that most animals wouldn't eat us.

#6 - Bad Hygiene


Ever stop to wonder why humans don't have fur? Scientists have; after all, humans are one of the few mostly hairless mammals on the planet.


With some exceptions.

It's not a minor point; our hairlessness is a big reason why human civilization even exists. Without that natural insulation of fur covering us, we had to create clothing, and groups living in different areas produced varying levels of pigmentation to protect their exposed skin from the sun, leading to the development of our various races.

Oh, and the need to keep warm may have also contributed to our ancestors learning one other mildly important skill: making fire.


"Awesome! Let's throw some shit on here and see what happens to it."

So how did we wind up as the hairless monkeys we are today?

We were filthy.

Yes, one leading theory is that we did such a horrible job keeping our fur clean, parasites became rampant. Particularly body lice we picked up from gorillas (don't judge, the Pleistocene period was a crazy, experimental time). So eventually, not having fur for the little bastards to nest in became an evolutionary advantage, and hairless offspring became the norm. It was certainly better than, you know, washing.


Bathing is for pussies.

So if you've ever worn an outfit purely made up of the only items of clean clothing you had left, or gone to the laundromat in your pajamas because all of your clothes were so dirty you didn't think they were medically safe to wear (Yeah, you know who you are), it's time to stop feeling bad.

After all, we as a species actually went naked because we couldn't be bothered to clean our once naturally occurring monkey suit.

Careful with that evil-oution talk! Just kidding, monkeys are cool.
