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

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.

If you plan to be in this sparkling, modern city any time soon, drop in on the Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao. If you’re brave enough, take a dip in the pool on the 24th floor.

It has a clear glass bottom, and some of the pool construction extends out over the street and traffic far, far below. When swimming in it, you may feel you’re floating free from all care way up in the sky. For more information, go to holidayinn.com/hotels/us/en/shanghai/shgpd/hoteldetail
