An emergency slide that fell off of a Delta passenger jet shortly after take-off last week reportedly turned up two days later outside the home of a lawyer whose firm is coincidently suing the Boeing plane manufacturer over safety issues.

Jake Bissell-Linsk, whose firm filed suit against Boeing after one of its planes lost a door plug mid-air back in January, said he discovered the deflated slide washed up outside his oceanfront home near New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday.

“I didn’t want to touch it but I got close enough to get a close look at it,” he told The New York Post of the bizarre discovery along the shore of Belle Harbor, Queens.

    Why have they not grounded every car? Despite all the safety problems at boeing, they are still way safer than automobiles.

      Why have they not outlawed boats? Boats are safer than cars.

      Why havent we killed all the cobras? Cobras are safer than boats.

      Why havent we outlawed kitchen knives? Kitchen knives are safer than cobras.

      Am I doing this right? Its a fun game which deflects blame and changes the subject quite effectively.

        “Am I doing this right?”

        No. You are inversing every statement that follows your questions. Why would we outlaw boats if they are safer than cars as you claim? Did you instead mean to say cars are safer than boats or ask why we haven’t outlawed cars? Rinse and repeat for the other pairings.

        E: You do realize you’re saying the exact opposite thing than the person you’re trying to mock, right?

      We fixed problems like this.
