Fly the Friendly Skies

Just returned from a long trip to New York City.  It was fantastic, as only NYC can be.  I flew Frontier Airlines for the first time, nice airline, I’m certainly a satisfied customer!

Frontier Airlines puts pictures of woodland creatures on the wings of their planes, it’s a whole wilderness theme.  My plane had a deer on it.  I’m so glad Bambi bounced back after the death of his Mom and found decent work as a spokesmen.

When did being a flight attendant become open night at the Improv?  They have completley gone round the bend with their sense of professionalism.  “Welcome to Frontier Airlines, a whole different animal,” and then the middle aged male flight attendant growled.  He actually growled.  I don’t think I’ve ever heard a grown man growl before.

Before we took off, the pilot said, “It’s around 9:22ish, we should be taking off right on time.”  9:22ish?  Where is the “ish” in that?  I don’t want the man who holds my life in his hands to speak in “ish’s.”  Can you imagine, “The surgery went alright-ish, I mean, you still have use of the left leg.”

Yesterday in the airport I saw a picture of a crowd listening to Sarah Palin speak.  The women in the crowd held up their lipsticks.  Okay, not only is this just silly, it’s unsanitary!  But I suppose it could be worse, they could be holding up their rifles.

Food for Thought: Under Barack Obama’s health insurance plan, 34 million will be covered.  Under John McCain’s, 5 million.   Chew on that!
