What a difference 30 years makes

This is just too rich. If she is to be believed, Kyla Ebbert, ,the woman to the left, was told by Southwest Airlines that she could not fly on their planes unless she covered her risqué clothing—the same clothing she’s wearing in the picture.

Is this the same Southwest Airlines that got its business off the ground in the ‘70s with ads such as the one on the right? Did the Taliban stage a take-over or something?

To add even more richness to the story, Ms. Ebbert is a waitress at (pause for effect) Hooters! Thank goodness she didn’t wear her work uniform. The full story can be found at http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20070905/news_1m5braun.html

I’ll be flying Southwest this weekend. I think I’ll be okay, but I packed my emergency burka just in case.
