18 Apr 10 - 04:31 PM (#2889307) Subject: RE: BS: 5 airlines won't charge for crayons!!! From: Art Thieme Well, they were getting dissed everywhere for charging for crayons after not charging for them before. So at least five of the airlines decided not to charge for crayons after all. It seems the pressure was too much for them. At least that's what I've read in the paper today. So it must be correct. I, for one, am happy about that. Art |

18 Apr 10 - 04:59 PM (#2889320) Subject: RE: BS: 5 airlines won't charge for crayons!!! From: Art Thieme Hey, I know this seems like a silly topic for a thread. Still, charging people just to bring them on the plane is a dumb way to run an airline. In the overhead compartment mine used to melt quite often, and that's where they would have to be put. But charging for the so-called privilege of having them with you when you fly is way beyond the pale. And speaking of "way beyond the pale"---that silly flesh colored carry-on never was any flesh color I've ever seen anywhere. Come to think of it, I haven't seen the flesh-colored crayon anywhere at all lately. I think someone stole it---and I had fifty of my CDs inside it. Who should I complain to?? I guess I'll go see who is in charge of lost crayon luggage! Art |

18 Apr 10 - 06:29 PM (#2889372) Subject: RE: BS: 5 airlines won't charge for crayons!!! From: JohnInKansas vultures are now permitted ... But the annual vulture migration, now in process, has met with many complaints here in the area of Itchytaw Kansas, and local authorities have been using "noisemakers" to try to move them out. So far as I can see, the only complaint has something to do with "they're really ugly," which I'm afraid I must take rather personally; but I'm hoping (probably without justification) that crusades agains "anything we think is ugly" may not gather momentum before the vultures move on.

Maybe those in Kansas got distracted. They are as predictable as Old Faceful... I worked for a woman whose main hobby was going to total eclipses of the Sun, but when I read her an article about the buzzards, she hopped in her truck and went! "short lived occasional phenomena" I guess is a hobby. |

This is an outrage! And it's hard enough to keep the kid quiet on a long flight as it is! Why, just think how much louder and more rambunctious they're going to be without their crayolas to color in the airline magazines and coloring books! We need to stand up to this kind of discrimination, I say ... What's that? [Chevy] "Miss Latella, it's carry-ons they're talking about charging for. Not crayons, carry-ons." Oh. Well, that's different. Nivver mind. : ) |

Yes, only a pun; but often puns are better when inflicted verbally. In print fewer folks would, as my young son Chris used to tell me forty years ago, "Dad, what's the get?" (He didn't get it.) Yep, crayons and carry-ons. So, never mind!! Art |
