Funniest Comments on Flyertalk

My first post and I apologize. I know this is off topic. But I didn't realize there were so many smart and funny people on FT. They made my day and I hope this collection of comments makes someone else smile too.

Someone asked "What are the secret methods people use to MS ? "

And the replies were
1)

2)
as soon as someone posts something worthwhile, im getting enough miles to fly to saturn!
First class!

3)
I just get sign up bonuses for dead or nearly dead people. The dead ones don't travel and the nearly dead ones don't have a clue. When you talk about bluebirds they look out the window, and ice cream is a welcome mealtime dessert.
Isn't this what everybody does?
Oh-- was I supposed to keep that a secret?

4)
I can get unlimited cash advances on any debit card. It doesn't matter the balance; usually you can get around 10K, maybe more if the time is right. All you do is go into the bank wearing a ski mask and hand a note to the teller saying "I want all the cash". 99 times out of 100, she'll just fill up a bag for you, no card swipe needed!
You do have to make sure to get out fast, though. Once word spreads, the cops try to shut you down.

I do that with nugget boxes and quarter pounder wrappers. Tell the cashier they made a mistake and forgot the food.
It still hasn't worked.

This has absolutely nothing to do with MS. Lock.

OP's mistake was failing to include a complaint about Frequent Miler ruining everything with his blog. The thread would have been "on-topic" had OP made sure to include such a complaint.

Doesn't really belong anywhere, it IS forum relevant, but it IS NOT manufactured spend relevant. Seeing as there isn't an off-topic portion of this particular forum, it just doesn't belong.

I think the thread was more about over the top MS ideas. We all have those over the top ideas on how to afford that trip to Uranus....

Hi Harry. I know the feeling when you're new and not sure where to post things. Don't worry about everyone here having a whinge. Keep posting.
