Pain in the Ash
Dear Eyjafjallajokull: I know you haven’t blown off steam since 1821, but your timing here -- really not good. It’s Earth Day week and you’re sittin’ there venting, spewing carbons into our atmosphere, disrupting air travel. You’re crashing the party, man -- and from Iceland nonetheless -- a country, I think. Tens of thousands of flights have been delayed. It’s the worst disturbance to air travel since 9/11. And all because of you. Happy now? You even displaced John Cleese who had to take a 943-mile taxi ride from Oslo to Brussels. The cost? $5,100. Cleese let the volcano off easy saying, “I’m not in a hurry.” I will do no such thing. So not cool.

I believe the volcano was speaking on behalf of mother Earth saying..."what the fuck", I only get one day of appreciation..."f-you!"...I'll show you who's boss! Just sayin'
ReplyDeleteI like your theory. From time to time, even the planet needs to get some shit off its chest.
