Just got back from a trip in which I found a wadded up ball of tissue in teh seat back in front of me. Don't know if it was snotted-up, didn't check. Didn't touch it or anything else after finding it.

Purell, always fly with Purell.

Yickorama!

Yeah, the laziness is astounding in people who leave stuff in the pocket. I mean, they've got flight attendants that come and ask for all trash before landing. You don't have to get up or anything.

I once found a wadded-up ball of Kleenex in the seat back on a midnight flight from Baton Rouge to Memphis. As I unwadded it, I discovered $5,000 in cash, a chocolate bar, a copy of Moby Dick, a fingernail clipper, and a very very very very small Corsican woman.

No, not really.

Last fall I found a wallet in between my seat and the one next to it. I tried flagging down a flight attendant -- finally did and she seemed pissed, "What can I help you with?" me: "I found this and thought it would be best if it was dealt with before leaving the airport." She took it and then all of sudden her eyes went big...ok, what seats is this? Ok, better write that down. Thank you.

And later I got a full can of soda and two micro packs of pretzels.
