Sometimes life seems like a poorly written television series.

Some real Curb Your Enthusiasm vibes

Have you seen The Matrix Resurrections? It seems just like something The Analyst would do to us as a joke.

This feels most like Breaking Bad where Walt’s actions cascade to two planes crashing over his house and the debris landing in his pool. Which I think we can all agree is generally not a poorly written show.

That’s fair. I loved Breaking Bad.

I was just picturing some scene with a lawyer sitting up at night at his home, going “How in the world am I going to prove my case against Boeing! I’ve got nothing and the trial is TOMORROW!” Just then, a Boeing emergency slide crashes into his window.

Shame to hear about the lawyer falling on his own knife 6 times.

It was clearly self inflicted.....6 times......the day before the next hearing.

Hopefully this isn't the airplane equivalent of being mailed a finger

Wouldn't this be the equivalent of the mob mailing their own finger?

That's a hardcore threat there. Mailing your own finger clearly shows that you don't care about hurting anyone even yourself it means sending a message.

Let's just hope that fimger grows back because it might be needed.

To be fair, with the number of parts falling off those planes it was a statistical certainty that something was going to wash up at his house!

I imagine his eyes turned into dollar signs and popped out of his head with a "cha-ching" sound when he saw it.

The slide is also now suing Boeing.
