Outta my head, right now!
;D
Headline needs a little editing. Should say “flies”, not “flys”. It’s the kind of mistake I often make myself.
That’s what I was thinking. Maybe even get a better deal.............

Thanks for the correction. Had to rewrite the headline as it was kinda long. Forget spellcheck - what the world really needs is grammarcheck!
They have replaced editors with English degrees with editors with journalism degrees............I bet the editor couldn’t even diagram a sentence properly nowadays............

If nothing else, at least keep the lad long enough to see if he falls for “pull this finger”.

Sometimes the headlines get a bit wordy - the original one here is: “US mother sues airline after staff fly boy, 5, to wrong city and present her with a different ‘son’”.

....and a urinalism degree is just training in how to regurgitate collectivist scum propaganda, which doesn’t really require excellent grammar, anyway.

Gosh that photo brings back memories of me and Dad after I broke the windshield wiper.
“Get that rain off the windshield or we’re going through the car wash again.”
Yeah, she's probably a frequent flier on that airline and they were just giving her a free in-flight upgrade.
The right age for a child’s first finger-pull can be a tough call. If we’re talkin’ teenage years, then you go directly to the first snipe hunt.
