Are Your Trays In An Upright Or Locked Position Or Are You Just Enjoying The Presidential Campaign?

Mike Huckabee showed up for his NRA speech wearing jeans and cowboy boots. “I’m not trying to be cool … I’ve been on Delta,” which he said stands for “Didn’t Even Leave the Airport.”
Cute line. Stolen, of course. But cute.
Proposing zany airplane acronyms has been popular silly sport for a long time.
We go to the site Profession Jokes for the best collection we’ve ever seen of the jocular genre:
Airlines Acronyms Explained
Alitalia: Airplane Landed In Tokyo And Luggage In Atlanta
Alitalia: Always Late In Take-off Always Late In Arrival
American: Airline Meals Eaten Regularly Induces Cramps and Nausea
BOAC: Better On A Camel
Delta: Don’t Ever Leave The Airport
Delta: Don’t Expect Luggage To Arrive
El Al: Every Landing Always Late
Olympic: Onassis Likes Your Money Paid In Cash
PIA: Perhaps I’ll Arrive
Sabena: Such A Bad Experience - Never Again
SAS: Sex After Service
TAP: Take Another Plane
TWA: That Was Awful
TWA: Try With Another
Although not an acronym, we are reminded of an ancient Extreme Mortman joke from a long since forgotten national political convention:
I see that this long since forgotten national political convention is sponsored by U.S. Airways. Which means if you want to get from the Virginia delegation to the California delegation, you have to transfer through the North Carolina convention.

I assume that Huckabee has conceded Georgia.

One of my favorite professional jokes (ahem):
A public relations consultant dies and shows up at the pearly gates. He looks around, and is confused that there are thousands of people ahead of him in line to see St Peter. But, to his surprise, St Peter left his desk at the gate and came down the long line to where the consultant was standing.St Peter greeted him warmly. Then St Peter and one of his assistants took the consultant by the hand and guided him slowly and gently up to the front into a comfortable chair by his desk.The public relations consultant said, “I don’t mind all this attention, but what makes me so special?”St Peter replied, “Well, we have added up all the hours for which you billed your clients, and by our calculations you must be about 193 years old!”
