Well the first rule of Project Mayhem is you do not ask questions . . .

Oh I have zero questions about Project Mayhem (which in this instance I will forever refer to as Flight Club and encourage my air force buddies to do the same.) If Chuck says get on the jet I'm there with bells on, no question asked.

Maybe someone on the inside is just crazy enough to deliver? They owe him now. Just like Space Force owes Trekkies everywhere their symbol back. (Now I'm curious who's responsible for these vulgar displays of plagiarism...) Time to call my brother at the DOD and start the petition for the jet.

Didn't expect back such a thorough response!

I was expecting more of something like,

'Paint a self-portrait."

'Build a House!"

Someone needs to slap a pinup girl Marla Singer decal on the side of that thing pronto.

Sweet can we fly over to Iwakuni, Japan? We can have a ghost story night in an abandoned tunnel in the side of a mountain near my old house. They never completed the tunnel due to multiple deaths at the site during the construction.

On the plus side, there is a nice road that leads up to it. There is also a beer vending machine and hot/cold coffee machine nearby.

You have to love Japan. I bet if we record the stories on video we can capture images of the tunnelers whose bodies they never recovered.

I’m hoping to go to Japan with my daughter in the next couple years. She refuses any new foods, unless it’s noodles! Then she loves it.

You should have her eat some okonomiyaki. Best way to have noodles outside of ramen alley in Sapporo.

The narrator in Fight Club makes plenty of flights.

Oh yeah! Then can I suggest Iceland? We can road-trip to insanely beautiful waterfalls and eat fermented shark.

Waiting on the "free jet" strategy, first.

Of course, but if they wanna play hardball...

Just let a rope dangle from Project Mayhem's tail when passing by Morocco, I'll hold on to it for dear life. Then, you can drop me off in the North Pole. As someone who romanticises extreme cold weather, my biggest dream is to live in those conditions for atleast a year.

I think companies there only hire highly skilled workers and researchers, and good chefs. Being an idiot who can't cook doesn't help that much.

Glad to be of service! It sure would be cool of them to cut you a slice of that defense budget cheese for the sweet project name.

Right? I'm so sure that's in their plans.

As far as the in-flight Movie Night goes, may I suggest we marathon all the Airport movies?
