- Man gets 26 credit cards with same number, different names
- Never take the first offer from American Airlines when requesting a status challenge (“Instant Status Pass”)?
@JTGenter interesting AA instant status pass experience. They wanted $900 for me to enroll for Exec Platinum or $700 for PP. I declined both. He kept me on the line & I was quickly offered no charge for PP.

I love Chicken Cordon Blue – you get 6 of them for $12 at Costco!
Huh? A proper cordon bleu is fried. If, instead of the canonical veal or simpler pork, you’re using one of those American DD chicken breasts, you might have to bake it afterwards. If it’s a TV Dinner or a Transcon special, then your job is to put it in the oven.
Good name for an A321 though: A successful commercial design pushed by technology well beyond its original dimensions, filled with fat and a bit of meat, and, uses the popular conception of elegance to hide the fact that the profit is in cramming living brings as tightly as possible into a confined space.
