Stuck in Traffic with Cool European Cars

They ALL look like two-door Yaris' and Prius'.  Mindy hearts them :)
 

All Aboard Icelandair

Twas a meager Thursday night, when all through the city, not a pigeon was stirring, not even the mice.  All the planes were on time and Mindy beat the traffic, but her four luggages held her up, and then she forgot her blankie!

Departing JFK International Airport
When she got on the plane, she arose with a clatter, and the passengers nearby said what was the matter?!  HOLY MOLY THIS PLANE HAS TANGERINE TURBINES!  COOL!

Gorgeous Tangerine Colored Turbines
Away they were going, until a little man with light sticks caught her attention, and then she thought, "I wonder if that man ever raved with those babies."

Little Man With Awesome Rave Sticks
As the rhymes begin to deteriorate, Mindy landed safely in Iceland to discover that her buddy Martin Skelton was also in the area, ready to go to Sweden!  As she wandered through their terminals, with no food in sight, her bladder was stirring with all its might.  Slowly, she crawled into the bathroom, to give her bladder some care, when she turned around to see, what the fuck was there.

Icelandic Airport Toilet Seat Cleaner
There at the airport, she waited with care, for her little connection flight to soon be there.

All Aboard to Amsterdam!
