A TRIP TO COSTCO

Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bag of Purina dog
chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit, the Wonder Dog and was in the checkout
line when woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have
little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was
starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't,
because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50
pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out
of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that
it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply
eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally
complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to
mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with
my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because
the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff
an Irish Setter's a$s and a car hit us both.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was
laughing so hard.

Costco won't let me shop there anymore.

The seats in row 1 seemed a bit two close to the galley and lav action. I prefer a bit of a buffer in herrinbone-configured J class cabins. At some point, I will post some photos on flickr that show those seats, and you can decide for yourself.

Not to jump on the AP or anything, but how does someone enter a plea of not guilty before being indicted by the grand jury?

Sounds like WN is making a bid for F9 in bankruptcy court... This will make things interesting in DEN - especially for UA.

Since WN has always made it clear that they are a Boeing only shop, I wonder if we will see some A318/319/320s on the market...

Yes, in my experience, a very large number of pharma reps are very attractive people.

Yes. They. Are. :p

Is that why my best friend's a well-paid pharma scientist instead of a well-paid pharma rep?
