Q: Why are KLM so cheap?

By Rogerborg (Sun Aug 01, 2004 at 10:44:02 PM EST) (all tags)

A: Because their planes smell of wee and the engines don't work.

Fortunately, they don't work on the ground as well as not working in the air, so I am here in Yokohama (not Ottowa as I previously believed) only 4 hours late and ready to go! To bed, I mean.

More later when I find my iPAQ with the travel diary on it.

I see your $corporation subscribes to the quick and unexpected school of bandaid removal.

Oh, they threatened for ages by Rogerborg (5.00 / 1) #2 Mon Aug 02, 2004 at 12:18:35 AM EST

But only confirmed at the last minute (as in, I had to try and get business cards on Friday for a Sunday departure). It's like a sword of damocles only occasionally they actually hit us with it.

The business cards by codemonkey uk (3.00 / 0) #3 Mon Aug 02, 2004 at 01:31:40 AM EST

And did you get them?

You know, they sometimes have those machines that print business cards in airports.

They look really professional.

: Yes, I did by Rogerborg (5.00 / 1) #4 Mon Aug 02, 2004 at 01:41:40 AM EST

In an astonishingly uncharacteristic feat of competence, $ADMIN_GUY got them done on Friday. And I totally handed over loads of them today, the proper way and everything. Full diary tomorrow.

If your host invites you to his home, always grab his wife's ass and say "Woe nelly, I wish I had me some of that!" Otherwise, you risk causing him to "lose face".
