The Maiden VoyageHe just bought a new boat and decided to take her for the maiden voyage. June 06 Save the airlinesGot this in the mail today... very funny :-)

How to save the airlines.........
Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell - the attendants have gotten old and haggard-looking. They don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a "party atmosphere" going in the cabin.
And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women.
Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working and have them kick back 20% of the tips.
Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues. This is definitely a win -win situation if we handle it right - a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset.
Why the hell didn't Bush think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself?

On the move againI'm now in Boston waiting for my flight to the Netherlands.
Another customer visit, so I'll hit Amsterdam monday morning and fly out again on Friday. A busy week... time at the customer, meet up with the SDN guys, meet with my MRA Group partners and visit with friends and family. Great! My XBox can talk!I've added a control to my page which links to my XBox live profile.

The flight was overbooked and everyone had already passed through the security check. The NWA attendent at the gate gets up and informs us that our flight is overbooked and we need 4 people to give up their seat. A $300 travel voucher will be awarded to anyone giving up their seat.
Nobody gets up to respond, after a 2 minutes I get up and tell them that if they can get me to Amsterdam via a different flight I could take a later flight, alas, after clicking away on the computer they informed me all flights were full, so I told them I couldn't give up my seat, my customer needs me in Amsterdam Monday morning. Anyway, a couple more minutes pass... no one gives up their seat. The guy now informs us that if no one comes forward 4 people will be picked at random... still no volunteers.
Next announcement: everyone board now, the last four persons to board will stay behind!!!
Imagine the stampede for the door...
True story. Crazy right? Anna Nicole entertains from the graveI guess sometimes things just appear freaky.
