Want a good airline travel laugh?
I posted this a day or two ago, but I think it got ignored due to my poor choice of title.
It hasn't been mentioned in a while but go to:

Patrick, I looked at the web site. There are about fifteen links on the front page. I didn't see anything about a travel story or laugh. Could you be more specific?

Everybody, be aware of this disclaimer:

"We reserve the right to refuse service to people who ask for things."

Does it mean no booze?

This is one of my current "Three Funniest Websites" and has been on that list for months now. To their credit, it took me quite a while to figure out that Alaska was behind it (partly because I couldn't believe any real business could be that clever and yet low key about their name).

If you go back after a month, you'll find all sorts of new features. Be sure to try to book a ticket -- the routing is wonderful. Much of it is "live" so it's a lot of fun to poke around.

Have you noticed the slogan up at the top, which changes every time you go back to the home page?

Since you asked, cfc:

Weight Watcher recipe cards from the '70's, with commentary by a very, very funny woman.
http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html

The name is self-explanatory.
http://www.thingsmygirlfriendandihavearguedabout.com/

(Sorry, it won't fit on one line.)

Do let me know what you think!

What about the guy who was selling his ex's wedding dress, is his website still up? He was expelled from eBay, so he copied everything to his personal website.

Oops, it did fit on one line!

Hi Faina! Don't know if that website is still up, but the guy had his 15 minutes of fame, that's for sure.

Oh Gardyloo, thank you, I LOVE that stuff! I have a whole collection purchased in Japan and Hong Kong! Now I can photograph it and put it up on the engrish website. I am so excited!

Marilyn, I laughed and screamed at the Weight Watchers Cards from the 1970s!

My cats hid under the bed I was laughing so hard.

Thank you!
