A look at the world from a sometimes sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek, decidedly American male perspective. Lately, this blog has been mostly about gender issues, dating, marriage, divorce, sex, and parenting via analyzing talk radio, advice columns, news stories, religion, and pop culture in general. I often challenge common platitudes, arguments. and subcultural elements perpetuated by fellow Evangelicals, social conservatives. Read at your own risk.

Other Ways the Airlines Can Make Money
With that in mind, and with apologies to David Letterman, here are the top ten other new charges airlines will try:
10. $20 Each Time an Attractive Flight Attendant Brushes up Against You.
9. $50 To Not Be Seated Next to a Fatty, Kid 4 Years Old or Under, or Someone With Treatment-Resistant Tuberculosis
8. $50 For Not Showing “Alive” as the In-Flight Movie
7. $75 For Not Showing “Gigli” or “Battlefield Earth” As the In-Flight Movie
6. $15 Access to Seatback Slot Machine5.
5. $30 For sharing germs for Immune System Testing
4. $20 Bladder Endurance Testing
3. $35 Thrill Ride Turbulence Simulation
2. $100 Disasterless Flight Surcharge
1. $300 To Get Their Swarthy Actor to Put Away His Koran and Stop Chanting “Allahu Ackbar”

Please no "cussing" or profanities or your comment won't be published. I have to approve your comment before it appears. I won't reject your comment for disagreement - I actually welcome disagreement. But I will not allow libelous comments (which is my main reason for requiring approval) and please try to avoid profanities. Thanks!
I refuse to fly United. Not because of the baggage thing, but because of everything else. I and most everyone I've talked to about airlines have had horrible experiences with them. Their hub in Denver is like the fifth circle of hell or something.
