#1 So my daughter in law with the support duck would have to travel on a different airline.
(I'm being totally serious here.)

#3 Ed, that trail was blazed by Gracie Allen. Her duck, though, sounded suspiciously like Donald Duck.

#4 Indiana: There's a big snake in the plane, Jock!
Jock: Oh, that's just my pet snake Reggie.
Indiana: I hate snakes, Jock! I hate 'em!
Jock: Come on! Show a little backbone, will ya!

#6 Playing with one's emotional support snake on an airliner, prolly not a good idea.

I'm okay with it, as long as it doesn't fancy my emotional support tarantula.

#8 It is very easy to get a "support animal" letter from a doctor for just about any pet. Iguana, snake, you name it.

And apparently people are so mentally unstable these days that they can't bear to be parted from their pet tarantuala when they travel, and just have to have it with them at all times.

#10 How about an emotional support handgun?

#11 Funny there are states with rather extensive lists of banned animals and foodstuffs... Can I take my emotional support brown snake to Hawaii? Okay, it is venomous, but it is a cute kind of venomous!

#12 The airline won’t allow unusual or exotic animals on board.

My praying mantis is muslim.
Does that help?

#13 My praying mantis is muslim

And we have a winner! Because the duck of the daughter-in-law of ed in texas is real, poor dear.

#14 All of this because Southwest stopped serving peanuts.

#15 "I'm tired of these mantis ducking snakes on this mantis ducking plane!"

#16 I had to stop taking my support elephant when they stopped giving peanuts.

#17 Well, she's odd, but it's useful at times. You know how you get in conversations about your weird in-laws? It's like tossing a hand grenade into a swimming pool.
BOOM! [conversation stops...]
