The One Where My Homophobia Is Put To The Test

Today, the universe decided to deal me a fish smacked straight between the upper lip and nose.

On my plane ride to China, this very fine sunny morning, I was given a aisle seat as usual. If you ever see a person asking for a window seat, you know that person is probably on holiday and doesn’t travel very much for the business traveller who will always ask for an aisle seat for the simple reason that it offers the most flexibility and the quickest exit route.

To my chagrin, two very colourfully dressed chaps plonked themselves daintily next to me. Their hair was dyed and looked like some a Vidal Sassoon commercial. Their clothes were skin-tight and of the latest denim. Their shoes were pink and shimmered in the air. And they wore their sunglasses all the time.

In short, the universe had decided to finally test my homophobia by putting 2 gaylords par excellence next to me on a 3.5 hour flight.

I must say, I spent most of the flight asleep on purpose when I really wanted to watch a movie.

See no evil, do no evil - right?

BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA it’s the universe’s little birthday pressie to ya. ;)

you dare sleep? haha….they are harmless, mostly.

Is your homophobia the result of gay men regularly propositioning you?

Gaylord.. hurhurhur!

Did you dream you’re playing with some joysticks in your sleep?

If you have luggage and/or the flight is long, a window seat might be good to plonk the pillow against, unless you have very weak bowels. Aisle seats more like for the internal short hops. Frankly speaking, window-aisle, both ok lah, as long as it is not the middle seat.

Must be having wet dream right?

guess im pretty much right about the gaylord part..

HAR HAR~

ha ha ha.. boy, i’d love to see you cringing and shuddering beside them. =P

I think my behavior was excellent. At no time did I insinuate that being gay went against the natural order of things (not that I think they do).

i heard that the more ppl is against homos, the more inside the closet they are. either it’s jealousy of how they can be “themselves” or that they secretly lusts for dicks.
