Tourists, pills and booze

While it might sound like a twist on the Warren Zevon song, "Lawyers, guns and money" it's actually from CNN:

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) - A French woman who is terrified of flying admitted in an Australian court Monday that she drunkenly tried to open an airplane door mid-flight to smoke a cigarette.

Bizarre. I can't say I EVER wanted a cigarette THAT much.

From what the AP report said, her lawyer told the judge she has no memory of what happened on the flight and that she has a history of sleepwalking. Yah, blame it on the sleeping tablets and alcohol taken before takeoff. Duh.

But where was her husband and what was he thinking when she got out of her seat with an unlit cigarette and her lighter in hand?

Kudos to the stew [cough], sorry, flight attendant who intervened and took her back to her seat.
