The Fat Tax

Ryan Air is thinking of charging a 'fat-tax' for overweight passengers. They say because us big people will touch the one next to us. Go on I say, I wouldn't mind buying two tickets, but then just because of the fat policy I would never go on Ryan Air anyway. How about charging a 'stinky-tax'? Because some passengers reek of onion, I've had to sit right through a flight to London with a passenger whose body odour was so bad it made me retch. Or how about a black and white tax? Perhaps I do not want the passenger sitting next to me to be black or white for fear my arms would be touching them. Or a retarded-tax policy? Or a baby-tax policy? I would hate having a mum change a diaper right next to me ( and yes I've seen it happening) while I'm having my coffee. And what about an ugly-tax? A frumpy-tax? A priest/nun tax? A Jew tax? A Libyan tax? And about the fat tax, are Ran Air about to employ people with a measuring tape to measure people before they go on board? Or are they weighing them? And what if one big man or woman decides to introduce the 'smash-your-face' policy? We would only be throwing what is legitimately ours... our weight. Because it's ours and we carry it and it's none of your fucking business thank you very much. RyanAir actually rhymes with... BEWARE!
