Absolutely hilarious! Carol Burnett is one of the best!!!

I remember way back when no-frills airlines were the rage, and one take-off went something like 'Welcome to your No-Frills Airline. In the event of ditching over water, the person seated next to you will serve as your flotation device!'

Now JetBlue is charging $7 for a 'clean pillow and blanket,' U.S. Airways is charging $2 for a can of soda, and American Airlines flies nonstop from Chicago to Hawaii without serving a crumb of food other than what you can buy--like $10/sandwich. We know the airlines are in trouble--price of fuel and so forth--but geez....
