The Ho, armed with the Wiffle Bat enters the cockpit silently during turns in Atlanta. Without warning he cracks both Captain and First Officer across the face. The HO then quietly retreats from the cockpit before the crew can recover. As the 'HO' passes the shocked flight attendants he mutters ..... "Merry ********n Christmas".

It is meant to demean .. Not to injure.

Merry Christmas
