If I were CEO of the airlines, I would install arm rests that did not go up. "Yep, we gave you 22A and 22B. Good luck!"
Or maybe I'd give two seats in separate isles...

That's a bit extreme - surely separate aisles[^] would work just as well?

Don't laugh, I have seen this done, a big guy purchased 2 seats next to each other and the allocation then gave him 2 seats in separate isles. He was not amused.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Was it Man[^] and Wight[^]?

Don't worry about it, they have a thick skin.

But how many meals do they get?

Free meals on flights? What year is this? 1975?

Good. I hope they do this elsewhere. Airlines constructed these little prisons they call seats. I remember spending hours next to a 400 pound man and getting his sweat marks for my trouble.

They should start an airline for fat people.
However I suspect it wouldn't take off.
|
|
|
|

Yes.
Each obese passenger should be offered two aisle seats across from one another, like seats marked C and D.
But how would the stewardesses roll down the food cart?

So - they get an extra seat for free . . . and the rest of us have to pay heavy fees if our luggage is a bit heavy.
Sounds sensible to me.
Canada's court is just trying to push the Flying Fat Nudist agenda.

Why do we (in the U.S.) have only 2-3 people to choose from for President, yet their are 50 contestants for Miss American?
 Certainly, though, I'm glad there's no Swimsuit Competition in the Presidential Election...

I really, really wish you hadn't put the image of Donald Trump in a mankini in my head... 
And now as punishment, it's in yours...

Probably about as idiotic and arrogant as one in a suit.

In the UK, "trump"[^] is slang for "to pass wind" - so you are probably right as well!

Ah, thanks.
I figured there was probably something lost in the translation from English to English, since he didn't capitalize 'trump'.

How do you people in the UK play Hearts (card game)?
Player 1 (American): What's trump?
Player 2 (Britisher): The bean dip
Player 1 : No, what suit is...
Seriously, what is the trump suit called in card games in UK?
|
|
|
|
|
The only times I've seen anyone in the UK playing Hearts, it's on a computer...
And the "popular" games that involve Trump suits (like Bridge) are generally only played by people who would never admit to having a hole between their buttocks!
