Why just the other day as I was waiting 45 minutes for an airport area hotel shuttle a SWA guy came up and asked how we managed to always get to stay in 30 year old places with free breakfast. I told him, "Well sir, it's easy to grin when your ship comes in and you've got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat." A tear of sheer admiration came to his eye as he sunk his head low and got into his already waiting transportation service to a city center 5 star hotel.
