True story from my flight back to Chicago a day ago:
 
Woman in the aisle seat: "I'm sorry, I'm so frightened. I HATE flying!"
Me: "Why? Oh, were you in a plane crash?"
Woman: "No, no. I just hate it."
Me: "Honestly, take off is, statistically, where the problems happen. We'll be in the air in a minute. Relax."
Woman: "You seem to know lots about planes."
Me: "Yes. Well, I've been in three crashes."
Woman: "What! Oh my god. Oh, oh. You're joking."
Me: "Sure, let's go with that. But are you okay?"
Woman: "I almost fainted just thinking about this flight earlier today."
Me: "Awful. Do you faint when you see blood?"
Woman: "I, I don't think so. Why?"
Me: "Because if we crash, there's going to be a LOT of blood."

LinkedIn could speed up the community policing of inappropriate content, like people posting adorable pictures of their dogs wearing costumes, by offering a programmatic "Put your silliness on Facebook!" button. The value of this button would be surpassed only by LinkedIn's existing "Happy birthday!" button, which provides an annual opportunity for people I don't know to send me a thoughtful, personalized happy birthday message with the words "Happy birthday!"

Talk about Mad Men!

Stalled line at a McDonald's drive-through outside Atlanta. Patrons yell a warning to us from their car window before we get stuck with the others. "The grills all down! There's no meat!"

Wasn't The Walking Dead set in Atlanta?
