now THAT’S funny

Not to offend Fitz-Hume, E. McPan, or any other West Texans out there, but I find it slightly absurd that Southwest Airlines’ featured “destination of the week” is Midland/Odessa, “where you’ll find warm hospitality, family fun, and Texas-sized savings!”

No offense taken. I feel sorry for anyone who (1) flies to Midland/Odessa, (2) flies anywhere because of the “warm hospitality, family fun, and Texas-sized savings” or (3) flies to Midland/Odessa because of the “warm hospitality, family fun, and Texas-sized savings.”

I predict a very disappointing trip.

Well, it’s certainly warm. And there’s (some) family there. And sometimes fun. And it’s cheap (relatively speaking), so I guess that’s not completely an untrue pitch.

And for the record, I never say Midland/Odessa. I mean, it’s not like a unibrow or something - there’s clearly a space between them. If you’re from out there, it’s offensive to be lumped together! :)
