  1. The article was hilarious. Can’t wait for my mothers response to the article.

    “Sometimes you’ll see a child in a stroller parked right next to the exhaust pipe of the truck”. This sounds like a congressperson’s act. see below

    A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of why our country is in trouble:

    1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle
    seat so that her hair wouldn’t get messed up by being near the window. (On
    an airplane!)

    2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman’s (Moore) staffer (Howard
    Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of
    the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with,
    ”I’m not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts
    .”

    Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ”Cape Cod is in
    Massachusetts , Capetown is in Africa”

    his response — click.

    3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a
    Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando
    . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that’s not
    possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.

    He replied, ‘don’t lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin
    state!” (OMG)

    4. I got a call from a lawmaker’s wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ”Is it
    possible to see England from Canada ?”

    I said, ”No.”

    She said, ”But they look so close on the map.” (OMG, again!)

    5. An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if
    he could rent a car in Dallas. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he
    had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas . When I asked him why he wanted to rent
    a car, he said, ”I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car
    to drive between gates to save time.” (Aghhhh)

    6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed
    to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m.,
    and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.

    I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn’t
    understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went
    fast, and she bought that.

    7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ”Do airlines put
    your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to
    whom?” I said, ‘No, why do you ask?’

    he replied, ”Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my
    luggage that said (FAT), and I’m overweight. I think that’s very rude!”

    After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying
    laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. is (FAT
    – Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag
    on his luggage..

    8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip
    package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, ”Would
    it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?”

    9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright (D)
    from Ala who asked, ”How do I know which plane to get on?”

    I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ”I was told my
    flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.”

    10. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D)
    called and said, ”I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get
    on one of those little computer planes?”

    I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane.

    She said, ”Yeah, whatever, smarty!”

    11. Mary Landrieu (D) La. Senator called and had a question about the
    documents she needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion
    about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. ‘Oh, no I don’t.
    I’ve been to China many times and never had to have one of those.”

    I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her
    this she said, ”Look, I’ve been to China four times and every time they have
    accepted my American Express!”

    12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ”I
    want to go from Chicago to Rhino,New York .”

    I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ”Are you sure that’s the name
    of the town?”

    ‘Yes, what flights do you have?” replied the man.

    After some searching, I came back with, ”I’m sorry, sir, I’ve looked up
    every airport code in the country and can’t find a rhino anywhere.”

    ”The man retorted, ”Oh, don’t be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check
    your map!”

    So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ”You don’t
    mean Buffalo , do you?”

    The reply? ”Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.”

  2. “Steel Nerves on Atkins Ave.”

    Jscheff I think you’re very racist! I noticed in the last few day this stories about African Americans are negative! The Crown Heights dust up did it for me! Now you talk about Atkins Ave inn ENY??? What does have to do with “Brownstone Brooklyn”????

    The funny think is everyone condones this type of Covert Race/Class Warfare but when I point it out everyone wants to jump on me!!! If the Jackasses that claim they’re not racists then say something! You live in these neighborhood or this is the covert attitude towards Black people??

    This is why I hope the whole financial world open up and blast you to hell!

    The What (Flame On!)

    Someday this war is gonna end…

  3. Re: Parents Scream against ice cream

    WTF? Since when is it SOP to bargain or have a 10 minute discussion with your child as to why they can’t have ice cream? Or anything else you say no to for that matter. When I was younger, if the answer was ‘no’ that was the end. No discussion. No bargaining. And I knew better than to throw a fit in public. Parents – get a handle on those little nuts. And, as for this quote: “Sometimes you’ll see a child in a stroller parked right next to the exhaust pipe of the truck,” blame that on a dumb @ss parent. If you park your kid next to the exhaust pipe of anything, I don’t want to hear you complaining about your kid’s breathing problems and glazed over eyes. COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!

  4. “As a new mother, she said, people coach you on potty training and what to feed your child. “But the ice cream truck, nobody ever mentions that,” she said. ”

    Laughable.

  5. LOL about the women who want to ban the ice cream vendors in the Park because they can’t control their own children. Pathetic. This is so typical of parents these days who are totally ineffective at disciplining their children. JUST SAY NO.

    The Latino Italian Ice vendor in the pic is hot though. I wish he was selling in Fulton Park.
