Southwest makes a sour savings decision

In an attempt to cut back on its already bare-bones services, some beancounter at Southwest came up with a brilliant plan. The airline figures it can save $100,000 a year by not serving lemons with its booze on flights. And Southwest isn’t the only skinflint in the sky. American Airlines hopes to save $40,000 annually by omitting olives from its salad servings.

Stay tuned, because more silly savings may be on the way. Should we expect that, in an attempt to wipe away its budget problems, Delta will omit toilet paper from its onboard bathrooms?

New York City: Mobile DNA Lab IDs Bio Dads PDF Print E-mail


Sober-up trucks in Las Vegas, hooker trucks in Rio, and now just when we thought we’ve seen all varieties of street vendors, there’s a new one. It cruises the mean streets of New York City, offering help for people who seek to confirm their paternity and for other services.

Called the Who’s Your Daddy truck, for about $350, you can have your DNA tested. The organization called Health Street now offers a mobile clinic for clients who want DNA, drug and background testing procedures on the spot.

The mobile truck is available around Manhattan by phone or email reservations, or simply by hailing it as you would a taxi. The truck also offers background checks and court-ordered drug screening. The DNA truck provides cheek swabs from each person involved in the testing, and results are available about two days later.

If you’re curious about your ancestry, and usually roam around Manhattan or will be a visitor, for more information, go to health-street.net

This photo taken near the South Rim begs the age-old question. However, the image does prove that the young elk calves won’t stop on the other side, and are complying with the no parking sign. Let’s hope human tourist drivers on the road will learn from the elk example.
