"The good news, sir, is that they eat treehuggers, and sweat gasoline." ____________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Maxwell Berry, 22, Miami, Florida, USA  Passenger duck taped to seat after groping flight attendants  A man on a Frontier Airlines flight ended up being taped to his seat after a series of incidents including allegedly groping female flight attendants and punching a male flight attendant in the face. It happened on a July 31 flight from Philadelphia to Miami. Police say that Maxwell Berry, 22, was sitting in seat 28D and had ordered two alcoholic beverages from a flight attendant. When he finished his drinks he ordered another drink and allegedly brushed his empty cup up against the flight attendant's backside inappropriately. A police report stated that the flight attendant responded by saying, "don't touch me." Despite that, he was apparently served another drink. He then spilled his new drink on his shirt. He went to the bathroom and came out without a shirt on, the police report stated. The flight attendant told him to put on a shirt and helped him get a new shirt out of his carry-on bag. He then continued to walk around the plane for around 15 minutes, according to Miami-Dade police, and then began to "get friendly" with a second flight attendant and proceeded to grope her breasts. Another flight attendant told him to sit down and not touch her. The police report states that he "came up from behind and put his arms around both of them and groped their breasts again." He then allegedly punched a male flight attendant in the face. After passengers helped restrain him he was taped to a seat and tied down with a seatbelt extender. Other passengers cheered and laughed as he was restrained, according to videos posted to social media. He remained taped to the chair until the flight landed and he was arrested. Berry is charged with three counts of battery. WSVN in Miami received a statement from Frontier Airlines on the incident stating: "During a flight from Philadelphia to Miami on July 31, a passenger made inappropriate physical contact with two flight attendants and subsequently physically assaulted another flight attendant. As a result, the passenger needed to be restrained until the flight landed in Miami and law enforcement arrived. Frontier Airlines maintains the utmost value, respect, concern and support for all of our flight attendants, including those who were assaulted on this flight. We are supporting the needs of these team members and are working with law enforcement to fully support the prosecution of the passenger involved. The inflight crew members' current paid leave status is in line with an event of this nature pending an investigation."

 You're in incredible shape," the doctor said. "How old are you again?" "I am 78." The man said. "78?" asked the doctor. "How do you stay so healthy? You look like a 58 year old." "Well, my wife and I made a pact when we got married that whenever she got mad she would go into the kitchen and cool off and I would go outside to settle down." the man explained. "What does that have to do with it?" asked the doctor. "I spent a lot of time in the great outdoors."

 A class professor was giving a lecture on company slogans and was asking his students if they were familiar with them. "Joe," he asked, "which company has the slogan, 'come fly the friendly skies'?" Joe answered the correct airline. "Brenda, can you tell me which company has the slogan, "Don't leave home without it?" Brenda answered the correct credit card company with no difficulty. "Now John, Tell me which company bears the slogan, 'Just do it'?" And John answered, "Mom!" ____________________________________________ A lady came to the hospital to visit a friend. She had not been in a hospital for several years and felt very ignorant about all the new technology. A technician followed her onto the elevator, wheeling a large, intimidating looking machine with tubes and wires and dials. "Boy, would I hate to be hooked up to that thing," she said. "So would I," replied the technician. "It's a floor-cleaning machine." ____________________________________________ Two men were digging a ditch on a very hot day. One said to the other, "Why are we down in this hole digging a ditch when our boss is standing up there in the shade of a tree?" "I don't know," responded the other. "I'll ask him." So he climbed out of the hole and went to his boss. "Why are we digging in the hot sun and you're standing in the shade?" "Intelligence," the boss said. "What do you mean, 'intelligence'?" The boss said, "Well, I'll show you. I'll put my hand on this tree and I want you to hit it with your fist as hard as you can." The ditch digger took a mighty swing and tried to hit the boss' hand. The boss removed his hand at the last moment, and the ditch digger hit the tree. The boss said, "That's intelligence!" The ditch digger went back to his hole. His friend asked, "What did he say?" "He said we are down here because of intelligence." "What's intelligence?" said the friend. The ditch digger put his hand on his face and said, Take your shovel and hit my hand." ______________________________________________
