Among the great disappointments of modern life is the fact that something as fun as a giant inflatable slide springing from the side of a massive flying machine exists—but may only be used in near-death situations, when one is least inclined to enjoy it.
Today, with his aircraft stalled on the tarmac, JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater came up with a better use for the giant inflatable slide: a dramatic exit. Why? Stupid passengers, that's why. One got up without permission - endangering the planet - and when Slater got bumped with the luggage coming out of the overheard compartment and did not get an apology, he got angry and left - the fast way.
He didn't get far. The police arrested him at his Queens home. Charge: Reckless endangerment, though I am not sure how that is possible. He's a male stewardess, after all. And his MySpace page says he enjoys "semi-fabulous JetBlue Airways destinations" so he is not all there. JetBlue destinations are TOTALLY fabulous.
