Go ahead, folks, you can laugh about it. What else can you do at this point?

(Just, if you're on a Delta flight, don't open your mouth too wide while laughing)

A Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit was filled with some unwanted stowaways — maggots that fell onto disgusted passengers from an overhead bin while midair on Tuesday, The Independent reported.

I just wanna pause for a minute and point out: Air travel didn't use to be like this. In fact, air travel used to be one of the most luxurious experiences you were apt to have in your day-to-day life. I mean:

These 1960s people had more legroom in their air seats than I have in my king-sized bed!

And now we've got, well, maggots falling out of storage compartments. Maggots. Out of storage compartments.

So where on earth did these maggots come from?

The gross bugs had infested fish that a passenger stored in their carry-on luggage, according to reports.

Ahh okay. I get it. That makes sense.

So you're telling me they can spend about 80 bajillion dollars and cost us 14 trillion man-hours doing this for 20 years:

... and they can't even catch a guy bringing aboard a rotting fish full of writhing maggots?

Heckuva job.
