"Welcome, members of the unwashed masses, to Air Hoi Polloi. Please get in line for your pre-boarding boarding check. Keep your paws, hooves and talons out where we can see them. No communication with other passengers. No eye contact...no sniffing. All squeak toys will be confiscated along with your firstborn. While waiting in line, don't even dream of squatting, ruminating or regurgitating. Once you're aboard the plane, we don't much care what you do...so long as we can't be sued for it later. Enjoy the flight!" (Photo by J.M. Hilton)
