My Inner Dr. Cox

You know, the funny thing about Dr. Cox (from Scrubs) is that all of us, at some point or another experience a moment where we "re-he-he-he-heally" want to let our inner Dr. Cox out to destroy those around us that annoy us...so...very much. I experienced this on the plane to Chicago last night. Let me tell you that even thinking back on it makes me want to explode with a tirade. The flight to Chicago was around 2.5 hours. I knew I was in trouble the moment these two ladies sat down, across the aisle from each other and began to talk...across the aisle, in front of me. At take off plus 2 hours...it still hadn't stopped, even for a breath. I'm telling you...the food cart came by and they talked OVER IT! OVER IT!!! COME...ON!!!! There was no silence...none. I couldn't sleep through the annoying chatter. I couldn't ignore it as they were right there beside me. During the flight, I finally found myself seeking refuge in my inner Dr. Cox. I was thinking what I would say if I had his freedom of expression. Here is what he was saying.

"Excuse me ladies, but I gotta tell ya that af(laugh)ter 2 hours of listening to you go on and on andonandonandonandon...and ON about how your boss, BOB doesn't appreciate you and how Peter seems to always rely on your help to succeed and how David is just a funny...kinda...guy....I'm seriously considering switching with the gentleman in the emergency exit row...THAT way, when you start talking again...and you will...I can pull the handle and throw myself out the door with the hope enjoying 30,000 feet of silence before I die...but, since I can't do that without probably sucking the two of you out with me...and Lord knows that would ruin the aforementioned silence...since I'm CERTAIN you would still be talking the En..TIRE way to your death...I've decided to just ignore that fasten seat belt light, go into the lavatory and drown myself in the reused, bacteria filled, sludge they call water..."

If only I had the freedom to say it. But, just typing it makes me feel a little better.
