Outta my head, right now!
;D

That’s what I was thinking. Maybe even get a better deal.............

Thanks for the correction. Had to rewrite the headline as it was kinda long. Forget spellcheck - what the world really needs is grammarcheck!
They have replaced editors with English degrees with editors with journalism degrees............I bet the editor couldn’t even diagram a sentence properly nowadays............

If nothing else, at least keep the lad long enough to see if he falls for “pull this finger”.
I haven’t tried that on my grandson yet............He’s six, it’s gettin’ close.................

Sometimes the headlines get a bit wordy - the original one here is: “US mother sues airline after staff fly boy, 5, to wrong city and present her with a different ‘son’”.

Heh. At least we know of two lads who are now up to speed on gladiator movies.
....and a urinalism degree is just training in how to regurgitate collectivist scum propaganda, which doesn’t really require excellent grammar, anyway.
Interestingly, the car in front of the airliner in the photo is flying a Cuban flag.
Gosh that photo brings back memories of me and Dad after I broke the windshield wiper.
“Get that rain off the windshield or we’re going through the car wash again.”
Yeah, she's probably a frequent flier on that airline and they were just giving her a free in-flight upgrade.
The right age for a child’s first finger-pull can be a tough call. If we’re talkin’ teenage years, then you go directly to the first snipe hunt.
