Dear Richard

Dear Richard,

I had to drop you a little note from here in Los Angeles. I recently had the most interesting flight. Obviously because it was interesting, it was not your airline that I flew. I instead flew Air Canada. On Monday I had just spent a weekend in Vancouver at the Winter Olympics where I got to see some hockey and curling. Did you know that it actually has nothing to do with styling hair? In fact, the best curler in the world barely has any hair. Hello Kevin Martin. Anyway, I had just finished my complimentary glass of champagne. Yes, Richard, they provide free alcohol. On your planes it is a necessity, but on this flight it was a luxury.

I was seated next to an interesting man who I thought was the founder of Blu-Ray DVD's. It turns out though I misunderstood his name. It is actually Sky Blu. Isn't that a vodka? Ahh, Richard, there is nothing quite like the taste of an ice cold vodka martini, but I digress. Anyway, we were just discussing his job which appears to be as a rapper for the group LMFAO. I have seen the term, but don't think I can share its meaning even in correspondence. I fear it is a bit bold and racy.

As my companion settled into his tale, he leaned his seat back. Well, the man seated directly behind him took great offense to this and told my seating companion in no uncertain terms to out it back up immediately. As the plane had not begun to move and the door to the plane was still open, I saw no reason for this brashness, however the man was not to be denied. When the seat was not returned to its normal position, the man behind my companion who is named Mitt Romney and apparently ran for President, reached around and grabbed Sky's shoulder. Sky knocked the man's hand away. The man then called for assistance and almost immediately Vancouver police were on the plane and dragging my companion off the plane. While I was grateful for the additional room, I must say I found it all a bit disturbing. Not as disturbing as the food you serve on your airline, but disturbing none the less.

I found some video of the incident Richard and am sending you the link. I wish you good day.
