Air Rats

Read a news item that there were rats in an Air India flight.  Are they rats (long tailed rodents) or rats (slang for a snitch – a person who informs on someone else.)?
 
Assuming they are rodents, it is a dangerous situation since rats can chew the electrical wires inside the plane.  I was thinking about this and then all of a sudden a few more thoughts came to my mind.  Here they are:
 
Are these rats Air India employees who travel free?
Are these rats Government of India employees who travel free?
Are these rats Members of Parliament who travel free?
How did these rats were able to come through the security?
Were they travelling to or from Karni Mandir?
Deep fried dishes should be banned inside the plane.
Be happy because venomous snakes are found in Qantas.
Hope these rats are smaller than those found in New York Subway.
No more Paneer Tikka Masala in the plane menu.
Transfer 50% of tech support personnel to pest control.
Samuel L. Jackson should do a sequel to his movie “Snakes on a Plane”.
May be Air India should start a subsidiary and name it Air Rats.
 
Do you have any thoughts?

  1. They should charge a full ticket to each rat. They will automatically stop boarding the plane :)

  4. Lolz... Air Rat...
    This is really scary... Imagine a rat on your lap... And rat's hair on food... You cant even escape!

    Or may be, they are just trying to reemphasise that these days flights are same as trains - Both has rats!

  5. Rats may be the government also!
    But the news (which are usually a scandal) should be speaking about the small rodents.
    Last week I watched a program called SBT Reporter (is Brazilian). In this program the reporter shows the ugly true of a lot of things.
    Last week he showed some dirty restaurants in São Paulo and in one the employee burned the rats! Two problems: the first because restaurants shouldn't have rats. The second because you don't kill any animal taking fire himself! It's monstrous! Can you believe?

  9. Thanks for your comments Camila. Burning rats in a restaurant is disgusting. Please don't go to that restaurant. Who knows they may be serving these rats as a grilled/tandoori delicacy.

  18. Honestly? Yuck.
    I once found 2 cockroaches running across our table in a 5-star restaurant. The Taj, in fact.
    Were they grey or white? Bcos white mice are even categorized as pets! So they could have come from pet cargo load.

    P.S What did u mean by Qantas snakes?

  19. Ha ! I loved your take on this news bit.According to yesterday's news some rats chewed body parts of a corpse in a mortuary.Perhaps the rats were fleeing from there?Or is it the caretakers of the mortuary who feared punishment?
    Kuch bhi ho sakta hai!!!

  21. Thanks for your comments Sweety. Pet Cargo Load! That's a good one.

    Qantas is an Australian Airlines. The second oldest airline company in the world. Last year, a snake was found inside their 747 which was flying from Sydney to Tokyo.

  25. An apt accolade to Air India by you, SG. Nice topic and novel ideas in questions.

    I feel they are terrorists or american spies.Cats(Black Cats) may be appointed in flights.
