*Middleborough MA: Cussin’ Will Cost Ya!

The 400-year-old New England town, with its 25,000 residents, is swearing off swearing! Despite the fact that it sits near the suggestively-named Assawompset Pond, anyone who curses in public there can be fined $20.

Just a few miles down the Massachusetts coast from Plymouth Rock, where the first Pilgrims landed in 1620, Middleborough citizens have had enough! They’re tired of hearing visitors and their own teenagers walking the streets loudly mouthing dirty words. The offenders obviously hear them constantly on TV, movies, stand-up comedy and rock music performances.

We don’t often get editorial on our travel site, but we say good for Middleborough! We did two wartime Navy hitches and know all about cursing. However, since the incursions of sleazy rock music and curse-filled TV and movies, the language of Will Shakespeare, Winston Churchill and Tom Jefferson has been dragged way down into the gutter.

When we travel in New Jersey, Las Vegas, Hollywood and elsewhere in the U.S., we’re tired of hearing juveniles in actual years and/or that mental level trying to outcurse each other.

CNN Reports: AA Squeezing In On Cheap Seats

As if it weren’t cramped enough already for creaky seniors flying economy. Get ready to squoosh! Seating spaces are reducing in American Airlines passenger compartments. The plan is to cut another two inches from each row.

Of course, in case you haven’t noticed, other airlines are also doing more squeezing for the same obvious reason. By sardining added bodies into the passenger areas, they’ll make more money. However, it could get worse on Delta and United, because it will give their goons less space for dragging passengers down the aisles and out the door.

OAG Ranks Airlines With Baddest On-Time Reps

The British air travel intelligence service was founded in 1929 when passenger aircraft were just emerging. OAG recently rated the US airlines with the most frequent unflier records.

At the top of the list and bottom of on-time records are United, Southwest and American. According to the OAG report, Delta and Hawaiian Airlines are the most reliable.

Of course, as any experienced senior frequent flier will tell you, it’s all based on random luck. On any given day of crowded skies the list can be reversed. Bad weather, mechanical troubles, jammed runways, passengers being dragged off and many other factors can cause delays.

Las Vegas NV: Great Destination For Business Events

Let’s gather in Vegas! One very evident reason is simply because the town in the Nevada desert didn't earn its title of Sin City for nothing. If enjoying yourself while on a business trip is sinning, then Vegas is where to do it.
