Well, I'll bid for something, but I'm not going to pay an arm and a leg for it.
|
Oh, escargot! Are you pulling my leg or what???
8-) |
no, it's real - look online - so basically, when no one claims lost bags after something like 120 dys, they buy them and sell the stuff !
|
I think my aunt originally got her prosthetic at
unclaimedleggage.com |
tracys2cents this has all been too funny. I think you should send a recap of this thread to ellen degeneres to do a special on her show, with special up front seats for you and your aunt and and when Ellen does her opening dancing sequence your aunt can really shake a leg :)
|
Thank you, tracy, for starting immeasurable fun these last few days! I wish I was HALF as witty as all you contributors!
|
canterbury,
Anyone can be witty. You just have to concentrate and take it one step at a time. Soon you will be a leg up on everyone. Oh, and a couple of stiff drinks help. It's a good crutch.((D))8-) |
Ooooh baby, spread your leg!
|
I'll try, jamaltay - LOL!
|
Wow! This thread is still limping along.
|
Hey, tracy, did you send this thread to America West/US Airways? They should know they're getting some baaad publicity! I hope they made it up to your aunt; this is not a good way for them to 'get a leg up' on the competition!
|
Dusty, you naughty knowledgable Hawaii expert... I'm SHOCKED!!!
Tracy, prayers have been answered, as your thread has accomplished the feet of achieving publicity (I'll skip word play on that) in USA Today on 2/17/2006. A coincidence? I think not!! w.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2006-02-16-lost-bags-usat_x.htm |
Sorry, folks. Try adding 2 additonal w's to the above. S/be www.usatoday etc.
Blame it on Dusty-caused LOL, leading to pondering zen essence of the sound of one leg spreading. |
Does anyone know the difference between a duck?
|
One leg is both the same!
|
Does this thread demonstrate our collective Achilles heels : addiciton to Fodors?
|
I was just reading back through all these clever responses and, either I'm missing it, or Fodor's removed one of the most clever. Can anyone find the response that talked about carrion luggage?
|
I'm assuming the poster spelled carry on as "carrion?" I just pressed CTRL F and did a search for "carrion" and it's not there. Hmmm.... :-?
|
The carrion was here until Waldo showed up with his duck. Lets get him!>:O
|
Hope your aunt is feeling better.
It's not easy to be a square-peg-person in a round-hole world of air travel. |
perhaps proper LEGislation could make it possible.
|
You're right... there has to be limb-its to posting taste...
|
Now, with upcoming standing flights - "vertical seats" is this what they call it?? - it will be difficult for the poor dear to travel at all.
|
LOL.........I see that I never did tell you guys that United phoned us three weeks after this to tell us that think they may have finally located the leg!
Auntie already had hers back for a good two weeks by that time...so i guess it was some other poor soul's limb! |
My question is why'd she bag the leg in the first place? Isn't it customary to wear the leg?
|
Giada, it was very inconvenient to fly in that new standing-up seat with an artificial limb.
|
Giada,
She checked the leg because she had more leg room without it! ;) |
That was the only way to get the damn leg through security.
Yup that's right....they're still not scanning checked baggage at most airports! How safe are we? Not very! Despite the "security fees" that are eating our wallets! |
This has just gone to the top of my all time favorite threads-laughing way too much!!
|
So we're not praying for the sunburned leg below?
|
Italybound, we are hoppy to hear that.
|
Last week, I believe it was GoT's prayer that the stupid leg below go away, lol. ;-)
|
Unfortunately they've no standing to sue the airline.
|
Which leg the knee below belongs to? Wooden of meaten?
|
... and no leg to stand on. Off to Turkey ... ciao to all.
|
When I read this on "News of the Weird", I knew I kneeded to top this thread.
09/17/2006 LEAD STORY Carry-on Blues: (1) Just after the Aug. 10 restrictions were imposed, British Airways refused to allow disabled New Zealand runner Kate Horan (on her way to the paralympic world championships in the Netherlands) to carry on her prosthetic leg, as she had long been allowed to do. Her checked-baggage leg was then lost in the chaos at Heathrow airport, and the prosthetic's manufacturer scrambled to make Horan a new one. (The leg was found a week later, and at press time, Horan had won at least one medal.) |
If she loses it again, I hope that she won't come running to you.
|
I think we kneed a kick in the pants.
|
|
not sure if it is proper type bookmark or ttt so that I can share this famous thread with others
