Surfergirl,
Sorry I doubted you. I was able to pull it out of the closet, and, while I have not finished it, it really gave me some laughs. In case anyone else has some time to waste, I will give you a "leg up" so you can find it at http://www.fodors.com/community/unit...or-the-leg.cfm

Did someone pull up the Vikings thread again.
By the way, with inflation, increased fares due to petrol hikes, and the poor economy, should people be reconsidering the percentage of the tip that goes to the pilot? Is 20% too much under these circumstances? Should we deduct for alcohol?

I posted this before maybe on another thread.
I think a New yorker cartoonist may have read the thread
because a month later was a cartoon of a pilot, standing by the door, saying, "Hey, buddy, how about a little something for the landing."

A tip is a gift and cash gifts are crass. One should always learn about how the recipient - in this case the pilot - usually spends time and favorite activities. That is why I always transfer FF miles to an account that that I have opened in the pilot's name.

There's a famous old story about a much-loved but <strike>skinflint</strike> canny British comedian who was fond of tucking something folded and unseen into someone's jacket pocket with the injunction to "Have a drink on me" - only for them to discover, after the glow had worn off, a teabag.
