For some reason, a drunken passenger began throwing peanuts at a
well-built man across the aisle. The man was sitting with his wife,
minding his own business. When the first peanut hit him in the face, he
ignored it. After the second peanut struck him, he looked up to see who
had thrown it. He threw a harsh look at the perpetrator, expecting him
to cease immediately. When a third peanut hit him in the eye, he'd had
enough. "Do that again," he warned, "and I'll punch your lights out."
But the peanut-tossing passenger couldn't resist. He did it one last
time. The victim got out of his seat, then triple-punched the assailant
so hard that witnesses heard his jaw break. The plane was diverted to
the closest airport and the peanut-tosser was kicked off.
