Comparison:
And you’re dreading flying the way cats hate baths?
The Washington Post thought it would be helpful to you and me to offer summer flying advice from a person who has flown over 23 million air miles (that's not a typo). Perhaps. In any case, the WP rightly thought that perhaps not everyone looks forward to such travel; hence the soggy feline.
Context:
So you’re going to fly this summer? Europe, maybe? And you’re dreading flying the way cats hate baths?
Well, you need to talk to the man who’s flown more miles than any human being in history — 23 million so far, or 22 million more than Apollo 11.
His name is Tom Stuker — a 69-year-old New Jersey car dealership consultant — and he’s the biggest mistake United Airlines ever made.
In 1990, United offered a lifetime pass for $290,000. Stuker jumped on it and has pretty much lived in seat 1B — his favorite — ever since.
