Hush!
Don't let RyanAir know this - they might advance a business model accordingly.
Chip fat in the fuel tanks, passengers in the gut?
Re: Hush!
But wouldn't this improve the level of service offered to RyanAir passengers?
I know I'd prefer to get shat out of a bird in preference to travelling RyanAir....

So, Job was a snail and it wasn't a whale but a bird, got it.
Translation error, sorry.
You know what?
Overall, being swallowed whole, and getting shat out at a random destination beats being made to show up at the airport 4 hours early for your TSA-mandated finger-bang, and having your bottle of diet coke confiscated for national security.
Its not Ryanair
Its Brianair....magic roundabout geddit.
