91. You are all going to think I'm nuts
But I've never really understood why you can get up and walk around in a plane any time you want.

We used to fly to disney world a lot when we lived in Michigan. It always occurred to me that the fastest and highest ride of the whole trip was the flight down there. But when you get in a roller coaster, you strap on the seat belt and it stays strapped on until the ride is over.

Yeah, I know a rollercoaster ride only lasts a minute. But every seat has a call light. I always thought that if you wanted to get up you should hit the call light and request it and they'd push a button and let you up.

You aren't supposed to get out of your seat belt in a car and walk around. You can walk around in an RV, but not a trailer pulled by a truck. In a plane you are going really fast, and you are up in the sky. Just up there, in the sky. Flying. A seat belt seems like a good idea to me.

I'm pretty sure I'm just nuts, but it has always seemed weird to me.
