A affluent man becomes annoyed when he finds himself seated next to an overweight woman in first class and begins whining to the flight attendant.

James Courtney knew it was going to be a rough flight as soon as he saw the woman who would be sitting beside him. She was HUGE! How was he supposed to travel comfortably with her sitting beside him…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The woman sat down and jabbed James with her elbow as she buckled her seat belt. “Watch it!” James yelled fiercely at her, and she turned toward him.

“Oh, I’m so sorry,” she cried, “Please excuse me…”

“Excuse you?” asked James mockingly. “Or excuse the 3,000 doughnuts you ate to get to that size?”

The woman screamed at him in surprise, and James noticed that she was rather young with a cute, weak face. It made him snarl, “Lady, when you travel, you need to book TWO seats!”

The woman’s eyes welled up with tears, but James was on a roll, especially after noticing her shoddy, old-fashioned clothes and worn-out shoes.

He said, “I guess your whole budget goes on nachos and hot dogs, right? So you can’t afford two seats? Next time pass the hat, I’m sure all your fellow passengers will be very generous!”

The woman turned to face the window, and James could see tears pouring down her cheeks in the reflection. “Listen,” he instructed. “I have a friend who runs a clinic down in Mexico, I’m sure he’d give you a liposuction mucho cheapo!”

Sobs were shaking the young woman’s shoulders by the time James felt reimbursed for his anguish from being squished in next to her soft mass. So when the attendant came back with the drinks cart, he requested a Martini.

Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect.

“Shaken, not stirred!” he instructed the lovely flight attendant in his best James Bond voice, then added, “I don’t know what Moby Dick here will drink…”

The lovely attendant pulled her lips together tightly and gave him a sour look. She then addressed the woman next to her. “Ma’am, would you like anything to drink?”

The woman nodded and dried her eyes. “Yes please, a diet Coke.”

James scoffed. “Don’t you think it’s a bit late in the game for a diet Coke?” The flight attendant and the woman both ignored him, but James felt satisfied when he realized he had angered them both.

He reclined back, nibbling on an olive and sipping his Martini as the woman next to him drank her diet Coke. He shuddered as he realized she’d need to use the restroom and would likely squeeze past him.

Not long after he finished his last sip, the flight attendant arrived with dinner. She placed a nice tray in front of him, and another in front of his partner passenger. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“Are you sure that will be enough?” James asked the flight attendant, “Because I think it would take a village to feed this lady!”

The flight attendant ignored him and continued to serve the other customers in first class. “That was rude of her, wasn’t it?” James told the woman sitting next to him, “I think I’ll complain about her.”

However, his fellow passenger ignored him as well, so James delved into the very great dinner. He was finishing up his wine when the flight attendant returned, and this time she was all smiles.

“Excuse me,” she said, “The captain is a huge fan, and he’d love to invite you up to the cockpit?”

James was astonished when he noticed the flight attendant chatting to the large woman next to him, who was smiling, flushing, and nodding. This meant James had to get up and allow her pass.

The flight attendant led the woman away, and James returned to his seat. He expected to send a number of angry emails to the company’s management regarding the service and conditions in first class on their flights.

He was mentally formulating some good rants when the captain’s voice broke through the speakers: “Ladies and gentlemen. We have a celebrity among us! If you are fans of ‘I Love Opera’ like me, you will recognize the voice!”

A magnificent voice entered the air, singing a few bars from a famous aria, and the passengers began clapping and remarking eagerly to one another. “That’s right!” the captain exclaimed. “It’s the lovely Miss Allison Jones, and she’s flying with us to do a charity concert for world hunger!”

The entire plane burst into cheers, and James cringed. Then the flight attendant approached. “Listen up, buster,” she replied in a chilly, harsh tone. “I don’t care how many millions you have, if you upset that girl again, I’m putting you in economy.”

James opened his mouth to argue and noticed a gleam in the flight attendant’s eye. “I’m sorry,” he muttered.

“It’s not me you have to apologize to!” She said.

Allison Jones, the huge woman, returned a little later, smiling and signing autographs for the other passengers. James got to his feet to let her take her seat.

“Listen,” he replied, flashing his most charming smile. “I’m sorry if I was a little rude, I had no idea who you were!”

Allison turned to look at him, and James noticed she had the most gorgeous eyes. “It doesn’t matter who I am. You shouldn’t treat people like that, EVER! And besides, you’re not sorry. Would you even be apologizing if I wasn’t semi-famous? You know, I can’t help my weight, but you can change your attitude. Stop judging people.”

James shut his mouth, fell back into his seat, and didn’t speak again until they were in Portland.

Guy Fawkes’ punishment was one of the most severe in English history – here’s what happens when a body is hung, drawn and quartered

After their infamous plot to destroy parliament was foiled, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators received one of the most severe judicial sentences in English history: hanging, drawing and quartering. According to the Treason Act 1351 , this punishment involved…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, your privy members shall be cut off and your bowels taken out and burned before you, your head severed from your body and your body divided into four quarters to be disposed of at the King’s pleasure.

This process aimed not only to inflict excruciating pain on the condemned, but to serve as a deterrent – demonstrating the fate of those who betrayed the Crown. While Fawkes reportedly jumped from the gallows – which meant he avoided the full extent of his punishment – his co-conspirators apparently weren’t so lucky.

By dissecting each stage of this medieval punishment from an anatomical perspective, we can understand the profound agony each of them endured.

Torture for confession

Before his public execution on January 31 1606, Fawkes was tortured to force a confession about his involvement in the “gunpowder plot”.

The Tower of London records confirm that King James I personally authorised “the gentler tortures first”. Accounts reveal that Fawkes was stretched on the rack – a device designed to slowly pull the limbs in opposite directions. This stretching inflicted severe trauma on the shoulders, elbows and hips, as well as the spine.

The forces exerted by the rack probably exceeded those required for joint or hip dislocation under normal conditions.

Substantive differences between Fawkes’ signatures on confessions between November 8 and shortly before his execution may indicate the amount of nerve and soft tissue damage sustained. It also illustrates how remarkable his final leap from the gallows was.

Stage 1: hanging (partial strangulation)

After surviving the torture of the rack, Fawkes and his gang faced the next stage of their punishment: hanging. But this form of hanging only partially strangled the condemned – preserving their consciousness and prolonging their suffering.

Partial strangulation exerts extreme pressure on several critical neck structures. The hyoid bone , a small u-shaped structure above the larynx, is prone to bruising or fracture under compression .

Simultaneously, pressure on the carotid arteries restricts blood flow to the brain, while compression of the jugular veins causes pooling of blood in the head – probably resulting in visible haemorrhages in the eyes and face.

Because the larynx and trachea (both essential for airflow) are partially obstructed, this makes breathing laboured. Strain on the cervical spine and surrounding muscles in the neck can lead to tearing, muscle spasms or dislocation of the vertebra – causing severe pain.

Fawkes brought his agony to a premature end by leaping from the gallows. Accounts from the time tell us:

His body being weak with the torture and sickness, he was scarce able to go up the ladder – yet with much ado, by the help of the hangman, went high enough to break his neck by the fall.

This probably caused him to suffer a bilateral fracture of his second cervical vertebra, assisted by his own bodyweight – an injury known as the “hangman’s fracture” .

Stage 2: Drawing (disembowelment)

After enduring partial hanging, the victim would then be “drawn” – a process which involved disembowelling them while still alive. This act mainly targeted the organs of the abdominal cavity – including the intestines, liver and kidney, as well as major blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta.

The physiological response to disembowelment would have been immediate and severe. The abdominal cavity possesses a high concentration of pain receptors – particularly around the membranous lining of the abdomen . When punctured, these pain receptors would have sent intense pain signals to the brain, overwhelming the body’s capacity for pain management . Shock would soon follow due to the rapid drop in blood pressure caused by massive amounts of blood loss.

Stage 3: quartering (dismemberment)

Quartering was also supposed to be performed while the victim was still alive. Though no accounts exist detailing at what phase victims typically lost consciousness during execution, it’s highly unlikely many survived the shock of being drawn.

So, at this stage, publicity superseded punishment given the victim’s likely earlier demise. Limbs that were removed from criminals were preserved by boiling them with spices. These were then toured around the country to act as a deterrent for others.

Though accounts suggest Fawkes’s body parts were sent to “the four corners of the United Kingdom”, there is no specific record of what was sent where. However, his head was displayed in London .

Traitor’s punishment

The punishment of hanging, drawing and quartering was designed to be as anatomically devastating as it was psychologically terrifying. Each stage of the process exploited the vulnerabilities of the human body to create maximum pain and suffering, while also serving as a grim reminder of the consequences of treason.

This punishment also gives us an insight into how medieval justice systems used the body as a canvas for social and political messaging. Fawkes’s fate, though unimaginable today, exemplifies the extremes to which the state could, and would, go to maintain control, power and authority over its subjects.

The sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering was officially removed from English law as part of the Forfeiture Act of 1870 .
