Bartenders are not deemed “safety professional” except when the company wants to use them as a come-on wink-wink nudge-nudge.

And most bartenders don’t take near the amount of abuse that flight attendants take, even when being forced to cut-off a customer.

As always, YMMV

It’s funny. Because my 6 year old daughter and I have seen all the Mattel Barbie(TM) movies, and they are so incredibly wholesome and sweet, I’ve lost any sense that Barbie is naughty.

It’s those dang Bratz that make me anxious. (And yes, my girl has two.)

Having been a flight attendant who had to deny liquor to some passengers, I felt an automatic agreement with the hypothesis, picturing me in my old apron… but I suppose bartenders ALSO have to cut people off, and I’m sure they often wear t-shirts with liquor ads. Bartenders? Any opinions?

Uhh…Tula? You might want to check out the Spirit Airlines Website

The big ad window has the following Tagline:

GET

Low
Airfares to
International
Destinations

Isn’t that a clever (read: horrifically tasteless) acronym? Un-freakin-believable.

Spirit should realize that their ad campaign is a bit out of step with the times. After all, a former Icelandic Air flight attendant just became Prime Minister of Iceland after the male executives admitted that they bankrupted the nation….and Johanna Sigursdottir is a lesbian, to boot.

They are redoing the roll call because of an electronic glitch. This is electronic and it is 59-0. It’s official. Blago is gone.

Thanks so much for your kind words!

What a shame we have to keep fighting the same retrograde stuff over and over…
