Here's an idea, jokesters idiots of the world: just don't screw around on airplanes. Do that shit later, once the rest of us have already made it to the luggage carousel. 

A 54-year-old man on a plane traveling from Philadelphia to the Dominican Republic caused panic, and a two hour delay after landing, because he shouted "I have Ebola!" after sneezing, according to a description on a video posted to YouTube (above). Airport officials confirmed the incident to Fox News Latino and said the passenger shouted “I’ve been to Africa!”

The video shows men in hazmat suits boarding the plain as a precaution after the plane landed in the D.R. The jokester was escorted off the plane, but once it was determined he had never been to Africa and was not sick, the rest of the passengers were finally allowed off the plane.
