Cranky’s 5 Funniest Posts

I always try to put humor into my posts, but sometimes they can get a little serious (and wonky). On occasion, however, humor takes over entirely and I end up cracking myself up as I write. There are some that have stood out to me over time. And I’m not even talking about the April Fools posts which have had many a person curse my name.

Here are my five favorites, in date order.

  • The United Dinner Roll – When my wife found a dinner roll wedged in between her seat and the wall on a United flight, it brought up so many questions. Many remain unanswered to this very day.
  • My Torrid Affair with Jenn – In a very special Across the Aisle interview, I tried to get Alaska’s virtual assistant to be mine. She was being very difficult.
  • Ted’s Dead – When United’s Ted subsidiary was finally given the mercy killing he deserved, I knew I had to memorialize him. After all these years, I still don’t miss him.
  • The JetBlue Snack Box Saga – I was not a fan of the JetBlue snack box plan when it first rolled out, so I was invited to go and taste every single one. For the most part, my opinion didn’t change.
  • As Seattle Turns – The drama between Alaska and Delta deserved a soap opera treatment all its own. I may need to do some more episodes.

So, do you agree? Or am I laughing alone? Anything I missed that you’d add?

    The Alaska – Delta post is hilarious! (and the comments too)
    I wasn’t a subscriber back in 2014, so am reading it for the first time today.

    The Widget and Eskimo are still having quite a lovers quarrel. Their lounge members can no longer enter each others lounge and there are still routes being added to SEA. So, what will happen next As Seattle Turns?

      Yes, any soap opera worth its ‘air time’ will endure for multiple seasons…
