Man Misses Airports So Much He Turns His Treadmill Into A Moving Walkway, His Washing Machine Into…

Don’t forget to unscrew all the light bulbs in the house so you can work in the dark like a passenger seat with a broken overhead light. All chairs in the house must not recline and be extremely uncomfortable. Finally, he should set his cell phone to airplane mode so he will continue to stay out-of-touch with everyone, although it appears he already is.

    I am sure I missed something, so please contribute your additional suggestions and comments.
