Vodka, poles, and planes

I just thought this was hilarious...

CHICAGO (AP) - A 41-year-old would-be smoker is facing federal
charges after wreaking havoc on an international flight last week.
Officials say that four hours into Friday's flight from Warsaw
to Chicago, Polish national Tomasz Soltys demanded that flight
attendants open a door so that he could smoke a cigarette.
A federal complaint says after making the door demand, Soltys
hit a fellow passenger across the face and threatened a flight
attendant with a vodka bottle.
The plane's captain eventually became involved and helped to
subdue Soltys and tie him down using seat belts.
Soltys has been charged with interfering with the duties of
flight attendants.
