MmmmHmmm.

I have hurt myself more often, and more badly with paper than I ever have with nail clippers.

I daresay, I could slit someone's throat with a well wielded piece of paper quicker and more efficiently than I could with a pair of nail clippers.

And don't get me started with the weapons I carry on a regular basis called "Uni-Balls". And the garrote which is the strap of my purse and . . .

Sigh, I hope no one from the TSA reads this.

Dear Mr Kotter...

Please excuse Juan from having to fly anywhere today.

He said that he has a bomb, and will use it if he is forced to fly! Allahu Akhbar!!!

Signed...

BUSH International Airport!

Wrong on multiple levels (which is appropriate for this thread). You are probably thinking of Bush Intercontinental Airport, but that would be the wrong one. The incident happened at Hobby, which is the Southwest hub.

It normally does not stop in Houston.

No, it does. There is no nonstop Southwest service from Love to Corpus. Check out the online schedule. If you've flown nonstop DAL to Corpus, it wasn't on Southwest.

Have they traced the call? Was it from the offices of American Airlines, or maybe Bob Crandall's house? Just asking.

And they're buying yet more 737s. They save an insane amount of money on parts by buying in bulk for their fleet and reduce their maintenance and training costs as well.

I don't understand why everyone who tries to copy/beat SWA continues to miss this vital point.

Hey, girl! My pc isn't letting me play the link...so I can't say. If your link says anything about a singing "stewardess" from SW, I can only imagine it's her.

No, it's a silly ditty from way back when, sung (acapella) by a really untalented housewife. I've been hoping somebody would recognize the song, and provide a decent mp3 file of it. The link I found is Real Player.

Johnny Rebeck

Away out in the forest
There lived a mean old man
His name was Mr. Johnny Rebeck
And he could surely plan
All the neighbors' cats and dogs
Were always at his feet
So he invented a machine
That turned them all to meat

Oh Mr. Johnny Rebeck,
How could you be so mean
We told you you'd be sorry
For inventing that machine
Now all the neighbors' cats and dogs
Will never more be seen
They've all been ground to sausages
In Johnny Rebeck's machine

One day a boy came walking,
He walked into the store
He bought a pack of sausages
And placed them on the floor
Then he began to whistle,
He whistled up a tune
And all the little sausages,
They danced around the room

Oh Mr. Johnny Rebeck,
How could you be so mean
We told you you'd be sorry
For inventing that machine
Now all the neighbors' cats and dogs
Will never more be seen
They've all been ground to sausages
In Johnny Rebeck's machine

One day the darn thing busted,
The darn thing wouldn't go
So Johnny Rebeck, he climbed inside
To see what made it so
His wife she had a nightmare
While walking in her sleep
She gave the crank a heck of a yank
And Johnny Rebeck was meat

Oh Mr. Johnny Rebeck,
How could you be so mean
We told you you'd be sorry
For inventing that machine
Now all the neighbors' cats and dogs
Will never more be seen
They've all been ground to sausages
In Johnny Rebeck's machine

Confusion about the plane type, airline, departure city and routing, but otherwise we should assume that the story is reliable?

Oh, and it was not really a bomb threat. It was an old WalMart receipt. ;^)

I stand corrected. Wright Amendment notwithstanding, Southwest flies from Love Field.

With all the petitions going around to KILL it, then maybe not for long.

SET LUV FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't see your post until today. The Epstein reference flew over a lot of heads.

Ron McNasty and Chastity holding a press conference in the shower has to be one of the funniest moments in that film... I split myself laughing the first time I saw The Rutles back in the 80's. Most people don't realize it was the inspiration for Spinal Tap.

But it helps to have seen "The Complete Beatles", to get some of the jokes.
