If Your'e a Stewardess with a Moustache -- Don't Poka Tyoka

Maybe the real reason Tyoka Jackson left the Rams at the end of last year didn't have anything to do with broadening his horizons. Maybe he just got sick of scruffy flight attendants getting in his face on flights into St. Louis.

StlToday.com:

A male flight attendant filed a million-dollar lawsuit this week against Tyoka Jackson, claiming the former Rams football player knocked him across an airplane two years ago as it approached St. Louis.

After flight attendant Gary Rihn repeatedly asked Jackson to stow his carry-on bag, Jackson shoved Rihn so hard that he was knocked across the aisle and landed, feet in the air, against another passenger, according to a Federal Aviation Administration letter that proposed a $20,500 fine for Jackson.

Tyoka's lawyer Tom Magee call B.S. saying that Rihn poked him with his finger and harassed him when he chose to keep his bag under his seat, obviously so he could protect it from the evil man-waitress.

It has also been suggested that maybe the plane's in-flight movie "Meet the Parents" with Ben Stiller might have put paranoid ideas into the former Ram-lineman's head.

Stewardess: Sir you will have to stow your bag before we can take off.

Stiller: It's my bag and I don't have to give it to you. You people lost my bag last time and just about ruined my life, so I'm keeping my bag right here with me - step off bitch!

Rihn's lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in St. Louis, asks for $250,000 in actual damages and $750,000 in punitive damages. Rihn's wife, Bonita Rihn, asks for $200,000 more, for "loss of consortium."

The suit says Jackson injured Rihn's head, shoulder, arm, knee and back and cost him over $6,300 so far on medical expenses. The suit says Rihn also suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome.

At least he didn't say "Bomb!"
