The window has more room than the others because it doesn't have an arm rest.

Not true. Every plane I have ever been on has an armrest on the window side. Including the two I flew to and from Japan.

Maybe I have gotten "lucky" or have missed it.

Oh, maybe it goes up and I always push it out of the way and forget that it was there?

I am not saying every airline has them, just the ones I have been on recently do.

NBC 12 says: "WE ALL HATE I-95 TRAFFIC....but this morning, when this man found himself in a traffic jam on I-95 near Westhaven Connecticut, he decided to shed all of his clothing and sit on the roof of his car. Police were called and transported him to a facility for a mental evaluation. Coincidentally, or maybe not, today is National Nude Day."

FORD:

Hey, now. I'm driving a Ford these days... I prefer First on Race Day. 8-) ... Unfortunately, I tend to drive Flipper's close cousin -- an Escape. (The Ford Explorer was dubbed Flipper by my family because of the issue they had blowing out front tires and causing the vehicles to flip).

But I previously drove Chevrolet's (did anybody ever come up with an acronym for that one? LOL)
