I guess this is sort of cross-posting, but this is such a tru MilesBuzz classic that I just had to share for those of you who never go to OMNI. This phrase must enter permanent FlyerTalk lore.

Truly funny, FewMiles. Good on you!

I agree with MewFiles. It's all about piles and moints.

I got a big mile of piles, or make that pile of miles or pile of piles.

Randy, that is hysterical. I almost missed it the first time I read your post and then, when it finally registered, I started laughing so loud that my staff came it to see what was wrong with me.

I don't know which is funnier, his original post or your response. Laughter is so good for the soul.

And a soothing ointment is so good for the piles and moints. (I don't know if there's one product that works on both, however.)

And we know that Punki would cut open the tube to make sure that she got all of the ointment out of it.

Cf Punki's thread: Do you cut open the tube to get the last of the toothpaste?

I don't think that would be necessary Mehdron. I am pretty sure that piles and moints ointments only come in flasks.

Are piles what you get because you've been sitting in a coach seat too long trying to get moints?

Why am I reminded of this? Not sure how big a hit it was on USA TV, but John Cleese and Fawlty Towers is one of the legends of real TV comedy and has been re-run 5000 times here.

Each Episode the Hotel Name sign 'Fawlty Towers' was changed to an anagram:

A Touch of Class: FAWLTY TOWERS
The Builders: FAWLTY TOWER (the L has started to fall off)
The Wedding Party: FARTY TOWER (now the W is a bit loose)
The Hotel Inspectors: FAW TY TO WER
Gourmet Night: WARTY TOWELS
The Germans: (strange, you didn't see the sign)
Communications Problems: FAWLTY TOWER (the L seems to be loose again)
The Psychiatrist: WATERY FOWLS (aha, a glimpse of the culprit!)
Waldorf Salad: FLAY OTTERS
The Kipper and the Corpse: FATTY OWLS
The Anniversary: FLOWERY TWATS
Basil the Rat: FARTY TOWELS
