20. Food Poisoning Happens
Remember in the movie, “Airplane” (busted) when the pilots both ate the fish? They both died. That’s a real concern.

If one pilot gets too sick to fly, the other will rest easy knowing she ordered the lasagna.

It’s fashionable to travel with pets. Dogs, especially, have become only slightly less cherished than children. Understandable.
