…..and when not licking salt, wear a mask.

and the crew carry cattle prods

Well, passengers certainly get milked by the airlines.

With tequila and lime?

No bull.

A salt lick? Are they taking tequila shots?

Alfred Hitchcock thought actors should be treated the same way.

I guess they think like dairy farmers. They will talk to you in one ear. An expect it to go out the udder.

Is this in place of snacks? Do they provide a trough of water?

Shoe replies don’t bother me.

Huh. From some of the stories in the news lately, there should be pens at the rear for some of them. . .

I though that was only on flights to Salt Lick City.

Being treated like Kobe beef cattle wouldn’t be so bad, with the beer and massages.

At least it isn’t saltpeter.

This is udderly absurd.

One time I had to change planes at o’hare. They were out of jetways. We deplaned down the steps to an impromptu walkway with canvas on both sides. I took a close look at the brand. It was powder river cattle chute…

I don’t know about that, but I wish they could teach flight attendants the Vulcan neck pinch so they can deal with unruly passengers quickly and easily.

the airlines are also offering early boarding for customers who have been properly branded…

Ok…I laughed out loud at that one.

but no salted peanuts!
