Imagine sitting in a wooden crate all day with only your head sticking out, bumping along over unpaved roads. That middle seat on the airplane suddenly doesn’t seem so bad now… or does it?

Well I guess it give a lot of time for thinking… outside the box!
Oops…
Ba Dum Bum Chhhhhhh!
oh… i don’t know… you get fresh air… the wind in your face… a spacious box to kneel in… below the neck protection from the elements… all perks an airplane can’t give you!! What’s more… the airplane doesn’t feed you anymore.. granted, gruel flavored with dirt/dust/rocks/sand/unidentfied vermin leave behinds isn’t so appealing…
Well, in fairness to the airlines, i’m sure people weren’t allowed more than one piece of carry-on luggage in those wooden boxes either…
