New York Man Takes Wrong Trip

KTVQ said Kingsley Burnett was looking to visit Sydney, Australia. He ended up in Sidney, Montana instead. How did this happen?

Barnett told the press, “It’s a matter of acronyms. The S-Y-D as opposed to S-D-Y. Somebody has to fix that." SYD is for Australia, and SDY is for the small town of around 6,000 in Montana.

Yahoo, and several other websites, say a man was on a cross-country flight out of New York to California. The problem arose when the man claimed another man sitting right next to him began uncontrollably passing gas.

According to the story, the man tried desperately to block the building's noxious odor, even donning two COVID masks on top of each other. The distressed passenger then said he simply leaned over and kindly told the other man to go to the bathroom and "get it all out". But the other guy said it was a "natural bodily function", and refused to stop.
