    Is she someone I should know? Otherwise I could see my peasant-ass joking about the same thing, especially if I’m grinding for a middle seat on a row that apparently didn’t even have a window.

    Now, if she’s one of the privileged, that’s an entirely different joke.

      Apparently she’s an author of self help books. “#1 Bestselling Author of The Six Habits, CEO of Vision Advertising, TEDx Speaker and America’s Happiness Coach.”

        Yeah, she can eat a bag of dicks. But, we’re not the audience for her terrible joke, it’s her rich friends.

          That’s the fun thing about social media though–the size of the audience can rapidly expand! I would say people should be more careful what they say online but nobody that should hear that will be listening anyway 🙂

        Author of The Six Habits

        Is this lady the hitchhiker from There’s Something About Mary, copying Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People?

        Hitchhiker : You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs?

        Ted : Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the exercise video.

        Hitchhiker : Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7… Minute… Abs.

        Ted : Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you’re going.

        Hitchhiker : Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin’ there, there’s 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?

        Ted : I would go for the 7.

        Hitchhiker : Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.

        Ted : You guarantee it? That’s - how do you do that?

        Hitchhiker : If you’re not happy with the first 7 minutes, we’re gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That’s it. That’s our motto. That’s where we’re comin’ from. That’s from “A” to “B”.

        Ted : That’s right. That’s - that’s good. That’s good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you’re in trouble, huh?

        [Hitchhiker convulses]

        Hitchhiker : No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody’s comin’ up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won’t even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.

        Ted : That - good point.

        Hitchhiker : 7’s the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that’s the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin’ on a branch, eatin’ lots of sunflowers on my uncle’s ranch. You know that old children’s tale from the sea. It’s like you’re dreamin’ about Gorgonzola cheese when it’s clearly Brie time, baby.
