Think you missed his reasoning for wanting to say such?

The cleaned up version for the few who have not heard it. Just a warning: It is one of those songs you cant get out of your head.

Nope! AUDirt would have said it because Cee Lo is famous for that song and phrase, and it would be a bit ironic for someone else to say it back to him. I purposefully reordered the words, to indicate shock and surprise in a PUN-ful way, as in I was making a sarcastic funny! Some people understand sarcasm, and some people do not understand sarcasm at all.

Also, for all humor, and especially for sarcasm, voice inflection makes a big difference. Would it have worked better for you if I would have typed "HEY! F***! It's you!" ?

Don Sutton
Earlier this week, Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton on a PBI-ATL flight in FC. Impressive guy.

John Bolton and Frank Luntz were both on my DCA-ATL flight this afternoon. They were not traveling together. I found it somewhat ironic that Bolton was sitting next to me as I read his Op Ed piece in the WSJ. Truly a small world!

What?!?!? No personal private jet or fractional ownership (such as NetJets)?

I was surprised by that too. He got upgraded at the gate...ROM/W was #1 on the UG list (I believe his real first name is Willard).

Yes, he was named after J. Willard Marriott, Sr. If he does fly DL, it would be no surprise that he would be a DM and a multi-million miler.

(His father, former Michigan Governor George Romney, was best friends with JWM, Sr., and I also believe that Mitt has served, or is serving now, on the Marriott International board of directors, but I am not positive about that.)
