I often go for a walk round the plane and am of the thought if you are up front and travelling at 600 mph then its a shame for those down the back

I recall a comedian Billy Connelly doing a sketch that was about a surevy of long haul passengers.

He basically described that on a 747 long haul the average passenger farts 8 times.

He then did some maths and calculated that was about 2400 farts.

He finished by sayin how sorry he felt for the porr B*****d who had to open the door at the other end
