Default Wale Says AA Racially Profiled Him

At least it's not the captain this time.

Wale responded, "How about your employees Megumi and Don told me, 'ur not supposed to be in first class I'm calling the police.'"

Unless you’re talking about the entire country of Wales being profiled by AA, this is not news.

Delete.

Watch yourself.

That's grammatical profiling. We'll have none of that.

Didn’t he get harpooned by Captain Ahab?

A common misconception. Ahab was drinking a lot in those days, and the harpooning was actually a #3 treble hook with which he nabbed Wale's third distant cousin, Trout. More of a fish story.

Trout, it seems, was under the legal limit, and Ahab did a turn in the county clink for assaulting a minor, and now lives mostly anonymously, and drunk, under the nom de plum, "Feesh," while on the fish offender registry for life.

Very sad story.

He never flies American, though.

Not racist, but in the world of Google, it's kinda dumb. In fact, you could have typed his name into Google in half the time it took both of you to post that. Just like I have to Google whomever the latest country singer or whatever is.

I typed it in. Not google, because I don't use google because they're evil, but Bing.

I got back:

A ridge on a woven textured fabric such as corduroy.

A plank running along the side of a wooden ship that's thicker than usual planking and used to strengthen the ship

A horizontal band around a woven basket.

So, which is it?
