Holy cow! (Wait. Just to be clear, I do NOT identify as a cow, nor have I ever used a service-tarantula that identified as a python.) "The Slow Poke Passenger" creates a plane load of implications and queries. Identity politics immediately comes to mind. Among other thought-threads: "Duckman," as I am going to call him, demands that we consider what "slow" means, both literally and figuratively. I kinda find myself wanting to meet someone who identifies as a duck and who owns a duck that identifies as a service dog. Ah, the wonders of diversity.

Brilliant decision by Gate; and Jenn's thoughts were right in line with mine in today's society where so many people of one gender or the other "identify" as their opposite gender.
