To all people who perused my prior post, please pardon my primitive palaver.
I really don't know what came over me with that bit about the union
representatives in the terminal. Sorry.

>AMERICAN Airline Meals Eaten Regularly Induce Cramps And Nausea
When I was a little kid (11yo), on an aeroplane for the first time, my family
was flying to Orlando on American. We had the most unfortunate pleasure of
being served breakfast on the morning flight. I can remember it clearly,
Pancakes and Sausage. I consumed it and about 10 minutes later, threw all
of it back up onto my tray. To this day, I do not ever enjoy traditional
American style breakfasts, and I always carry a stash of granola bars and
what not just in case the food on the plane doesn't look too good, which is
often...
janet.

Next time you travel at breakfast time, call ahead of time (by at least
24 hours) and reserve a fruit-plate for breakfast, or some other special
breakfast (you may find that granola and/or some other healthy alternative
is available as a special meal for breakfast).

Two essential truths:
1. The intelligence of a committee is inversely proportional to the
number of members serving upon it.
2. The sum intelligence of a committee is always less than the
intelligence of its most ignorant member.
