Did the marathon include the episode with the moron flying out of Chicago in the dead of winter who tried to send a glorified duffel bag through checked-in luggage when, lo and behold, he had put his cat inside the duffel bag?

Airline Lady: "Sir, you can't transport your kitty in.. that. There aren't any air holes! And our luggage compartments aren't pressurized." (If it's not pressurized, wouldn't the lack of air holes be kind of a moot point?)

Mr. Lying Dumbass responds: "Oh but he loves it." (Suuuuuure he does.) "He travels like that all the time." (Where the fuck are those lazy bastards from the ASPCA when you need them?) "And he's got his favorite towel in there with him." (OH! Well, there you go. That makes it all the difference in the world. After the plane reaches 40 ba-jillion trillion feet above sea-level where the air is almost as thin than Mr. Dumbass' excuses, kitty will have his favorite towel to pass out on while he dies from lack of oxygen. So, see, airline lady? Nothing to worry about.)

Anyway, it was kind of funny to see her try to delicately explain all the problems with sending kitty through "checked luggage" in some stupid soft-sided duffel bag while trying to avoid mentioning one of the more obvious problems: that the idiot baggage handlers would very likely squish kitty to death after tossing 3 or 4 overstuffed suitcases on top of him.

Plus I thought it was poetic justice after Mr. Dumbass had to transfer to a completely different airline (and he probably had to pay a nice fat fee for the privilege) that he had to buy a kitty carrier at three times what it would've cost him for the exact same carrier from Petsmart.
