When Pigs Fly

The federal government proposed new guidelines allowing people with disabilities, assisted by "service animals," to board flights. The list of approved service animals includes, but isn't limited to: monkeys, miniature horses, parrots, and pigs. It gives a whole new meaning to "when pigs fly." Snakes have not been approved, yet. There is a gentleman with a service snake who warns him of upcoming seizures. Someday he may have approval to board a plane with his service snake.  Oh, here's the catch...the other passengers may not object. If I boarded a plane and there was a snake on it, you can bet I'd object. And, If the plane was flying over Middleborough, Massachusetts I'd be issued a huge fine. Police in Middleborogh, MA are allowed to issue $20.00 tickets for cursing in public. At that rate I'd owe close to a million dollars if seated next to a "service snake".
