When visiting one of the top ten U.S. cities that have the most cursing citizens, the blue air may help. You can then feel free to tell off misbehaving cabbies, waiters, hotel clerks and others in the same foul language.
So, next time you’re there, prepare to cuss in these $#%& cities, according to a recent Wall Street Journal report, listed in rank ... very rank ... order:
Washington DC: Who wouldn’t curse in a @#$% town full of $#% politicians? Denver CO: Every time I visit, I get a %#$@ Rocky Mountain high! Chicago IL: This &%@ city ain’t been the same since &*%$ Al Capone croaked! Los Angeles: Movies today have too much #$#@ cursing! Boston: Paul Revere yelled, the %$%# British are coming! Atlanta: Whatever happened to the %#$ Falcons? Minneapolis: Holy @#$, it’s minus 115 degrees today! Phoenix: Holy $#%, it’s 115 degrees today! New York: The big %^& apple! Philadelphia: The %$# City of Brother#%# Love

Airlines Squeeze In More Passengers Seats |
|
|
|
According to The Boston Globe, an oft-told story is happening again. In their efforts to boost revenue, some airlines are redesigning their cabins to fit in even more seats. The results are, particularly in the tourist class areas, less space and more discomfort.
Our favorite airline, Southwest, may be the most ambitious to have their passenger sections imitating sardine cans. The Globe reports that SW cabins now have six more rows of seats than previous arrangements.
SW’s announcement claims adding of the new rows was because new seat designs of thinner, lighter materials actually make them more comfortable. Yeah, sure, says this frequent SW flying sardine.

Southwest Airlines: Now Non-stop Boston-Nashville |
|
|
|
Elvis would say, “Thank ya, thank ya ver’ much!”
Southwest Airlines just started a once-a-day non-stop service between Boston MA and Nashville TN. For the local airport, Metropolitan Nashville (BNA), it’s currently the only major airline non-stop between the two cities.
Southwest's other non-stop routes from Boston Logan (BOS) include Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall (BWI), Chicago Midway (MDW), Denver, Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) and Lambert St. Louis (STL). |
Airliners of the Future: NYC to London In Minutes! |
|
|
|
This could be the entire future flight attendant speech you’ll hear after you’re in your seat:
“Welcome aboard your New York to London flight. Please secure your seat belt. (pause) We’ll be landing in London in a few minutes.”
According to dailymail.co.uk, a future supersonic passenger aircraft will fly between London to New York in less than one hour. The experimental X-51A Waverider is designed to accelerate to as much as five times the speed of sound.
A prototype experimental Waverider was recently launched from a B52 bomber ten miles above the Pacific Ocean in its latest test. If successful, within just a few years, you’ll be able to fly anywhere in the world within an hour.
Of course, that doesn’t include the hours caught in jammed auto traffic on the way to the airport, and then standing in line to be molested by security agents.
