>>>...There are five terminal buildings in the DFW airport complex, and they are miles apart.

That is true, but they have a little undergound railroad that takes you from one to the other. It is all automated with no driver. Kind of like a horizontal elevator.

Yup, and they work very well, indeed. I've changed airlines and had to change terminals several times there, and have never had any problem. Nice system.

Airtrans? Yup - used it several times myself (but its much easier and quicker to just take a cab). Renting a car is pretty extreme to get around, but a case could be made for it.

If any of these jokes ARE true, I'd be willing to bet that some/most were practical jokes played on young, gullible staffers.

When I was in the Army, during field exercises, I'd send a young private to get a bucket of steam, so we could steam clean the engine of my jeep. Although they had never heard of such a thing, I was a Captain, so I had to know more than them (or so they thought).

How that young man responded to my request often told me a great deal about his character. Once they found out they had been had, they'd laugh it off and chalk it up as a learning experience.
