Nobody on that flight is ever going to eat vanilla ice cream again.
I was only joking

Reminds me of the time an ornery passenger peed on the seat in front him. The plane was taxiing for takeoff, but we had to go back to the gate and wait for the passenger and his pee to be removed. The passenger was removed first. The pee took a lot longer.

We had a couple of strategies for dealing with particularly noxious smells in the OR.
One of them was to take oil of clove and put a few drops in your mask. Another was peppermint oil drops on the inside of your mask.
Neither was particularly effective.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

My Russian friend of some renown says that Earl Grey tea turns his stomach, as he tells me they use bergamot to mask the smell of dead bodies in Russian funeral homes.

Hold my puke:
An Air Canada passenger claims that two of her fellow travelers were recently escorted off a plane because they refused to sit on vomit-covered seats for a five-hour flight.
Passenger Susan Benson wrote about the incident in a Facebook post on August 29. She explained that, before her flight from Las Vegas to Montreal took off, three passengers struggled to get seated because of a rancid smell.
"There was a bit of a foul smell but we didn’t know at first what the problem was," Benson wrote. "Apparently, on the previous flight someone had vomited in that area."
Benson said that Air Canada staff attempted to mask the smell with coffee grinds and perfume to no avail. Customers reportedly raised the issue to staff, explaining that their seats were wet and still had visible vomit residue.
"When the clearly upset passengers tried to explain to the flight attendant that the seat and seatbelt were wet and there was still visible vomit residue in their area, the flight attendant was very apologetic but explained that the flight was full and there was nothing they could do," Benson said, adding that the staff seemed reluctant to give them blankets to cover their seats.
The passengers reportedly argued with staff for several minutes. When a flight attendant brought her supervisor, they reiterated that there was nothing they could do.
The dilemma culminated when the pilot told two of the passengers that they needed to leave the plane, Benson said.
"[T]he pilot came down the aisle and very calmly knelt down and told the two ladies that they had two choices: They could leave the plane on their own accord and organize flights on their own dime, or they would be escorted off the plane by security and placed on a no-fly list!" the Canadian passenger wrote.
Benson maintained that her fellow passengers were not rude, but upset and firm. Security guards eventually escorted the two women off the plane.

I mean, that sucks but what else could the plane do about it? You either accept the gross/blanket seat or you leave the plane. They can't just magically make new seats appear.

I stand corrected, from the source (see FB post below), it seems the plane indeed kicked them off for "being rude" (the witness said they were upset but not rude) to the flight attendants. Not a good look for Air Canada, eh?
