These will probably be posted on their website in short order.

Have you applied for a position as a writer for Letterman? It looks like a perfect fit to me.

On your next flight, ask your FA if he/she is a crop duster.

AD,

You are too much. You have such a great sense of humor. I wish you had been on our flight so you could have provided our inflight entertainment. The 3 hours in ST. Louis would have felt like 3 minutes with your clever, witty comments.

But the FAs might have decided to crop dust him.

AD needs to spin off his Top 10 lists into a new Merry Man. It'd be a smash....

Whenever the pilot or flight attendent announces that 'We will be on the ground in a few minutes' I always cringe a little - there are a lot of ways to be on the ground - most of which I would not be pleased with - why can't they say 'We will be landing in a few minutes'.
