Yesterday I was on a flight from Chicago to Charlotte, NC.
I was sitting comfortably in my assigned seat, when I looked up and then I saw them...my seatmates. Two guys in their twenties. One of them looked at me and said: "Congratulations. Today is your lucky day. You have the chance to sit next to The World's Biggest Brothers."
Normally, I might be pretty bummed to be sitting next to two guys who were larger than the regular fellow, you know, sides slipping over into my seat, elbows out over the armrests. Fortunately, that didn't happen here. These guys were hilarious!
At one point, a woman came over to our row and started to take one of their bags out of the overhead compartment. "I'll just move your bag over here so that I can fit my bag on the plane," she said to them.
The Brothers: "Well, it's kind of heavy."
The Woman: "No, it's really not."
Big Brother #1 turns to me: "She just moved my dad."
Me: "WHAT?!?!"
Apparently, they were escorting an urn with their dad's ashes back to the East Coast.
We spent the rest of our time on the plane together going through the Sky Mall catalog, you know, with products like the Cat Potty Training program, or the Fake Security Camera that you can mount in your garage to fool criminals into thinking you have a real surveillance system, and the sunglasses with a video camera inside.
These guys are hilarious. I've encouraged them to start their own YouTube channel -- with snippets of their life. Tune into The World's Biggest Brothers. Remember, you saw it here first...:o)

So you really were entertained, huh? Good thing. Glad we could make your flight more enjoyable. We were just needing to come up with as many jokes as possible for transporting Dad home in a bag. Too much sadness and heartache for one weekend. And you were lucky that Jason got to sit by you. He'll talk to anybody 'bout anything! I know he had a good time talking to you as well. So best regards with your fun life in SC. Jeremy (the guy in the aisle seat) ;)
Jeremy -- great to meet you. Yeah, you guys helped to make the trip go more quickly. I'm impressed with how you guys are supporting another during a tough experience...think about the YouTube Channel. I'd watch! :o) -Leslie
This is great. Leslie it was cool to meet you and I am glad that we were entertaining. I am very lucky to have a brother that is as awesome and good to me a Jeremy. I am going to start that youtube thing and I will let you know when. That is a fun idea. Although we made lite of it on the plane, it is a very tough experience we are going through and our humor sometimes helps us to get through. To all the people out there that read this blog, yes everything that she said was true, so pick your jaws up off the floor and get back in your chair after you finish being on the floor laughing and get ready to tune into more. I will update Leslie as things go on. I don't mean to sound conceded, but I was otfl about myself just reading this. By the way Leslie, I am linking this to my Facebook. Hope all is well.

Jason -- thanks for checking in. Hey, can you think of some other ridiculous products we saw at SkyMall? So cool you are thinking about the YouTube Channel. Think Flip Camera. I also like the idea of branded clothing for other "Big Brothers." :o) Keep me posted -- and let's be friends on Facebook! You can check out more about me on www.YouAreFree.com
