Premise pressure: what's actually weird here?
Pressure-test an observation until it either cracks open or dies. Both outcomes save you months.
A premise is a claim about the world that you find funny and can defend for three minutes. 'Airports are annoying' fails both tests: it's not a claim, and you'd run out of road in twenty seconds because the audience already agrees.
