How convenient that he left his hat badge off. LOL

Hmmmm, four stripes and a FO hat. Wonder what Goodwill store he bought that from.

I've said it before & I'll say it again: "The Onion Rocks"!!

(Fletch, love the Boeingman comment)

For those that still don't get it, "The Onion" is a practical joke style publication; so they made up this AA Pilot. Check it out: www.theonion.com... it's as funny as all hell. Here's some recent funny (fake) headlines:

"RIAA Sues Radio Stations For Giving Away Free Music"

"Bush Seeks U.N. Support For 'U.S. Does Whatever It Wants' Plan"

I hope this wasn't a real article.

How often do some of you guys get out?

Oh god I remember when a Chinese new agency got embarssed when they ran a story off of what the Onion wrote (something about Congress saying they would move unless they got a new dome).

Also about a couple a weeks back a Sherriffs office issued a local terror alert based on a fake story in the Onion. They claim they were just using the story as a umm example.

My favorite was:

"Hershey's Ordered to pay Obese Americans $5 billion dollars."

I printed it off and posted it in my squadron and got several people to bite. Of course, several recognized the Onion byline.
