Make my travel plans: bus or puddlejumper?

[Robb]

I've got a one-way trip back from the big city next Sunday.

Greyhound is $75, little plane is $300.

Greyhound is 7 hours, little plane is a 45-minute flight.

Greyhound is 6 a.m. departure, plane I could spend another day with a perfectly lovely woman and leave in the evening.

Which one? And why?!? :D

[trof]

1. "another day with a perfectly lovely woman"

Reason enough.

2. Time is valuable.

Time spent with someone special is even moreso. Take the plane. Plus, a relatively low level flight through the Rockies would be AWESOME.

[trof]

3. "Get on the puddlejumper, THUMPER!"

Geez, that's so OBVIOUS.

[Robb]

4. Especially

...if you've met my new (to me) four-stroke bike.

Or is that not what you meant? :D

5. Spend another day with a perfectly lovely woman...

I vote for the airplane trip.

6. My answer:

You are a dingbat.
Da plane!

7. Bus: simple reason $225

8. Bus - safer

No contest

10. ...

11. Safer?

:shrug:

12. I'm having to exercise self-control at the moment

[trof]

14. Statistically, no.

Airline travel much safer than highway travel.
You could look it up.

19. Puddle-jumpers don't have the safety staistics of large airliners

Look that up

9. Busses don't provide parachutes

I'm just saying. :shrug:

[trof]

15. Airlines do?

Since when?

[BrotherBuzz]

17. I never said airlines did, I simply stated...

buses don't provide them (I wonder if upper level management have a few golden ones squirreled away somewhere?). Nevertheless, airlines do offer something that buses don't - flotation devices! Is that cool, or what? ;)

13. I say puddlejumper

unless you are short on funds, then take the bus. But if you can afford it, take the plane and spend the extra time with her!:7

18. By "puddlejumper," what do you mean?

A Cessna 172? A Beech Duchess? A Saab 340? Or a "real" jet, like a 50-passenger CRJ, or a 70-passenger EMB-175? There are a lot of ways to jump puddles, and if the airplane is a regional jet it's as safe as the "big" airlines.

And even if you were taking a Piper Cub, you'd still save a lot of time you could be spending with the lady -- and they do say, faint heart ne'er won fair maiden. :D

20. I've never flow before, but I would say

spring for the puddle-jumper. Spending a lovely day with a special chiquita is worth the extra cost. :thumbsup:
