Oh No. I was Invited to the Superbowl.

A good friend from college invited me to go to the Superbowl with him.

He's a regular Bears season tix holder and his number came up in the lottery.

The problem is , I don't like to fly. It will take a good 2 days to drive down and then back. Pain in the A$$.

Fear of flying can certainly be debilitating.

so should I go??

No, I should.

Of course you should go. What's the matter with you?

Buck up and strap yer self in! If your that wigged out get hold of some lil helpers and down a few. You won't be able to take the controls in the event of an emergency but then again you won't care either!

You miss this and you will feel like shyt for years...

Get on the phone to make an appt. with your MD. Tell him of your problem. He'll likely prescribe some short acting anxiolytics. You'll love it. Better living through chemistry! Don't do the in-flight alcohol bath. Bad idea. Just a bit of relaxation medication. A little zen in a pill. You'll be good to go.

And hell no, staying home is NOT an option.

Just let me fly you there and you will never forget it.

Of course you will also never say a bad word about a conservative either as you will probably be comatose after we land. Something about flying under bridges inverted, hammerhead stalls and turning the engines off to see just how quiet it really is and does the cabin hold pressure for long?

Stop being a wussy and get on the frigging jet...

By the way, the Superbowl is really just a terrific three day party. Loads of fun! Doesn't really matter who's playing or who wins.

Go, I use to hate flying and do it weekly for work.

You will miss a great time, better if the Chargers were in the SuperBowl.

Maybe he'll give you a lift.
