An author of alleged “children’s books” needs to wash his mouth out with soap and find a new airline after dropping the F-bomb aboard an Atlantic Southeast Airlines flight.

Unlike the rain in Spain, Sayegh could not remain on the plane.
The Detroit News reports Brooklyn author Robert Sayegh is thinking about suing the Delta Connection carrier.
According to the article, the 37-year-old, was flying from Kansas City to Newark when a flight attendant overheard him ask “What’s taking so [bleeping] long to close the overhead compartments?”
The plane taxied to the runway but returned to have Sayegh forcibly removed.
Sayegh told the Detroit paper he used the F-word twice.
“I’m like, ‘Are they throwing me off the plane? This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever been through in my life. It’s embarrassing.”
Sayegh, who’s also a TV producer, said he is not “a crazy maniac” and that in New York “we curse as adjectives.”
Oh well, at least he didn’t drunkenly flirt his way into the news.
The airline says the incident is under investigation.
Sayegh said would never intentionally disrupt a flight: “My cousin was killed in 9/11. A lot of friends died in 9/11. I would never come close to doing anything like that.”

I don’t use the F word and do not want to hear anyone else use it! Good for someone taking a firm stand.

SO, was he charged with anything? Sounds like a flight attendant who was having a bad day or something. I would sue also.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is another reason to bypass the airline industry alltogether. Whether you agree with this man’s use of profanity or not, delaying a flight for the 100 other passagers because the flight attendant was a little offended is outragous and excessive.

I applaud Jim for using his freedom of speech proudly today. Remember people, when we don’t use our freedom of speech tirelessly, the terrorists win.
So on this upcoming July 4th, if you’re not cursing everyone you see that day then you’re not doing your part as an American.

Once heard a very well-known professional speaker say, “those who cannot speak without using profanity or vulgar language are only showing their inability to carry on an intelligent, worthwhile conversation”. If I hear someone curse in public, especially use the f-word or other vulgarity, they lose all respect and credibility with me right then and there, no matter who they are. Glad this guy was kicked off. It’s about time civility and respectability was restored in this great country of ours.

I do agree that Flight Attendants are doing a thankless job. But to be fair, I’ve tried to thank them on numerous occasions, but they keep telling me to stop touching them.
