The Joy of Flight

Kids scream in my ears - I just want to cuss. A drunk next to me causes quite a fuss. Left my brief case at the gate. Doggone flight is runnin' late. Next time I travel I'm ridin' the bus! Robert L.

Hilarious Sgt. Hinshaw! Will you be traveling by Greyhound? That's the only one LEFT isn't it? I've heard that horseback is a scenic route...
