Typical female alien , RuffNutt. They do it all the time and never call back like they say they will.
you don't exist.
On FrIday, April 1, I was waiting in California for a Southwest Airlines flight from Phoenix with final destination Baltimore. It was delayed several hours and the only thing that Southwest representatives told us was that it was a "maintenance" issue that was delaying our flights. They must have known about the hole ripped into the fuselage of the flight to Sacramento and should have told us what was really going on so that we could have made an informed decision about continuing our journeys on Southwest. I trust my life to the airlines when I fly and I think they owe passengers the truth about delays. Shame on Southwest.
Whodda known it was an April's fool stunt gone awry...asking whether you wanted to participate ahead of time would have put a damper on the gag response when it played out...so be reasonable Anne.
@Anne Hummer...thanks for sharing that account. But I don't think it's even logistically possible to accomplish what we would all like to see in cases such as this one. You are right, but I don't think it can be done. (or would be too costly)
And you don't want to start the 'shame-cycle' that leads to self-defeating behavior with any of the major airlines, or you're liable to end up with holes in airplanes.
I think it would be in good gesture and taste for Southwest to give a prize to anyone sitting on their planes near a window that is riddled with an appliqué of bullet holes on the window without complaint. They would win a free fare and hotel stay of their choosing.
...of course anne would loose her prize cause she complained...
Back to the same old useless stuff and topics.
Thanks,

Mmmmm reminds me of a bumper sticker: "Getin, shut up, and hang on", and another: "If you don't like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk". That was before holey airplanes though.
We call 'em backseat drivers and those who keep pressing those imaginary breaks on the passenger side a bit nervous...
I think Kate and William would make great bopping heads on car dashboards...
Bobbing heads...
Bopping heads?
Correction, bobbing heads...sorry thanks 1608! It's my virtual mimosa!
i would never fly in a plane..
No you couldn't fly in a plane...a paper plane could fly in a plane.
...a fly can fly in a plane...
That's ok Mmmmm , no ones perfect but your pretty close to it. 🙂
Well 1608 has shown the whole wide world, www, that a couple of letters can make a whole wide of a difference so I figured words can do the same...and why are you taking up fer ru...everyone knows I love picking on him...
Come again didn't understand your last question ?
Okay but I still can't say what's on my mind. This is some what of a family show.
@ Ruffnutt , pls don't say that I'm going on one in August. First time since 911, hope it's not going to be a real long drawn out experience in the airport. I'm going for the Xray machine, the only one I want patting me down is the Boobie.
Girl fight fire with fire...kill spirits with spirits...I would suggest absolute alcohol for you...or you can try my cranberry mimosa with a squeezed of lime wrapped around the rim...plus cranberry is good fo the bladder wich is good for those on long plane rides and don't like blue toilets...
...even elephetnutts can keep you company...he can hose down the entire plane. You can use him to safely detect any holes or ho' s in the plane.
I'll go for the mimosa and would avoid the toilet at all costs knowing the whole words been there.
