A yellow lab named Eleanor Rigby (like the Beatles song) gave birth at Tampa airport’s gate 80 just prior to boarding a flight to Philadelphia. She had eight puppies. The airport’s fire and rescue team was called to the scene to assist with the delivery.

Maybe buying a year’s worth of toilet paper is something. Buying 12,150 cups of chocolate pudding (“Pudding Guy”) to earn over a million miles, and then donating the pudding was the stuff of legends, and even an Adam Sandler movie.

A year ago an AirAsia flight attendant was videotaped performing Britney Spears Toxic.
