Government-subsidized high-fructose corn syrup in action.

That would explain the rotten grillz too. They look like they eat gravel every night for dinner.

A fine argument for several generations of retroactive birth control. What would they have beensaying if there was a problem and the kids were hurt?

Not sure if it's been used yet:

GET OFF MY PLANE!

This travesty of Darwinian selection can only be attributed to gross quantities of impure corn liquor and generations of profoundly unbiblical sex.

Good for SWA.

At first glance, I thought Rockits post was you until I saw the name. It's your FI trademark I guess.

Betcha (s)he's a Hitlary voter, too. The line of "I think they should compensate us" gives it away, ya thunk??? Get your money for nothin', right over here, folks.

Um, I doubt it. Trailer trash usually votes Republican.

PHOENIX -- A family booted off a Southwest Airlines flight in Phoenix because the children were being too disruptive will get a refund.


Airline officials contacted the family Monday and told them the carrier would refund the entire cost of their six one-way tickets from Detroit to Seattle via Phoenix, said Southwest Airlines spokeswoman Christi Day.


Wendy Slaughter said they were detained at the gate by Phoenix police officers who said they were being too disruptive to be allowed to catch a connecting flight at Sky Harbor International Airport.


"I am furious about it," Slaughter said after arriving home in Seattle. "I just couldn't believe they could do something like that, and then, leave us completely stranded with no money and no way to get anywhere."

Slaughter said this was the first flight for her children and admits the kids were loud and kept getting up and walking around the plane.


"The children were a little bit out of control on the flight. They were restless and excited and worked up, and they're kids."


Her 10-year-old son Henry is autistic with a short attention span. Her daughter Gracie suffers from cerebral palsy. The family said flight attendants asked them to quiet the children twice. They didn't expect to be booted off the flight.


"And for the safety of our customers and flight crew decided to not allow them to travel on to Seattle at that time," Day said. "Typically if it's a threatening behavior, it's not safe to travel at 30,000 feet in the air in a contained environment."


The children's grandmother said she had to pay $2,000 to book last-minute tickets on Alaska Airlines.

Phoenix police said on Monday the matter was a civil offense and no report was filed. The department said it will not investigate the incident any further.

Well at least everything worked out in the end.

Not yet. There's still the issue of the boy's missing banjo. Seems it was the family nest egg, being once used in a Burt Reynolds movie and all.

I really need to learn when to use those silly little emoticons to show I am being sarcastic. lol

Haha... I actually used the one he's using before my current one. No idea where I saw it, but it cracked me then, and still does. :laugh:

Kinda off topic, but when I was a kid I thought autistic was actually audistic, as in you really like Audis. Granted, said Audis weren't all that great back then, but I couldn't understand why that was something to be dragged to the doctor for. I thought, so the kid likes Audis, let him be.

 

[say again]

They got their freakin' money back?!?! WTF. Maybe she should try being a parent and control her kids. Then again, if she was smart she would've looked in the mirror years ago and realized that she never should have had offspring. Same goes for the sister, grandma(pa), etc.

Is this your mother in the said article?? JK, but that comment doesn't help your cause.:beer:

Hahaha...Raise the fares and get this trash off the plane!

On a side note...What is that lady feeding her arms? Arm food?!?!

Brings to mind the old saying:

I don't know why it cracks me up, but it does. That shot perfectly captures the way I feel on most days anymore...a detached sense of amusement and indifference as the industry swirls counterclockwise around me.

I'd say there's a fair chance that I stole it from you.
