Really? Airline seats are going to get smaller?
by Amanda Arnold | September 24, 2010
Here’s a good way to make 98 people really uncomfortable on a flight: Have them stand.
OK, OK; they wouldn’t exactly stand. But they wouldn’t exactly sit, either. Airline seat manufacturer Aviointerior’s newly launched SkyRider line features “stand-up seats” with just a 23-inch pitch.
I met my couch at a Storehouse outlet. It was wearing a 50-percent-off price tag and red throw pillows. I don’t mean to brag, but my couch is yellow. And its couch cushions sink ever so gently when you sit on them.
What I’m saying is that if you’re looking for a couch to sleep on, I’ve got a good one, which makes me a fine candidate for Couchsurfing.com, a social networking Web site that facilitates freeloading.
