That’s an excellent move from the greatest democrat in our land.
By the way, will seating be allowed in adjoining seats?
If not, my guy will not be able to perch his hand on my shoulder and reach downwards, a little bit to the hills of joy.
Understand your concern, Sister Roxie,
Those groping arms from the adjoining seat, seeking the ‘hills of joy’ are indeed, a great problem.
I cannot focus on the film when my hills are being explored.
Hope the PM understands and bans the use of adjoining seats.
