Of course Kremmen, Victoria is the state where the high court has ruled that the English homonym to the airport code for that Japanese city that starts with "F" is no longer legally offensive. Jeff Kennett even used it in his radio ads! (Maybe that's why he lost.)

Seriously, while I agree with you in principle, it is Randy's board. You pays your money (or not, as the case may be) & takes your chances.

Sometimes I think it's more fun to play the game. After all, we all can say what we mean, even if it's roundabout. I remember the graffito markered inside the overhead bin on a TWA flight many years ago: "Icahn --heart symbol -- Sioux City". If you know the airport code, you get the joke.

"Service" should be a noun, not a verb.
