> heads in the sand. Quite literally?

  That's an unnecessary stereotype

    Would you be saying that if it was some quip about Canada being cold? We're talking about a carrier based in a desert nation and a flight that departed said desert nation. It's a joke about the local environmental conditions resulting in the phrase "head in the sand" being potentially ambiguous between the literal meaning and the figurative meaning.

    How is this a stereotype? I live in the Middle-east (the region of the world where Doha is located), trust me, it’s full of sand. You don’t need to feel insulted for me.

      It’s just fucking tasteless. It very nearly happened. The original use of the idiom was mine and I didn’t make that connection at all.

        Ah and your use of the “f” word is full of taste. Grandiose.
