If you have a sec.
In the early 60s Alaska Airlines was referred to as spastic airlines by Alaskans and not without some cause.
Location : Anchorage International
Time : Early morning
"Anchorage ground , time check please."
Pregnant pause................
"What airline are you?"
An even more pregnant pause......................
"Ah , er , hum , does it make a difference?"
Where upon a bright and effervesent voice says , "Oh Yes ! If you're Pan Am it's zero eight hundred. If your Wein it's eight AM.
But if your Alaska Airlines the little hand is on eight and the big hand is on twelve !!!!!!!!!"
