I haven't said "Thanks for Billy Corgan" since the 90s, but fuck yeah, I am saying it right now. Thanks for Billy Corgan so hard.

Just to note - up until President Carter deregulated the airlines in 1978, these low wage non union airport jobs were all good paying union jobs.

I sent this to my dad, who is a retired airline pilot. (He flew for over 30 years and retired in 2003). I thought his response was interesting:

At some point Tina stopped aging. I don't get it.

I remember this book, but with the way mulletier cover:

"Yes, and I like my coffee like I like my men." The waiter, without changing his expression said, "I'm very sorry, madam, but we don't have any gay coffee."
