If anyone has ever flow southwest you know they do everything differently. They have poems songs and jokes for everything other airlines routinely do. So to choose that one quote....They must have had no sense of humor.
But I do find it humorous that the article kept reffering to "the sisters" and although they are actually sisters...why don't they take that out of context as well and sue the news for racist remarks?

"Plaintiffs' attorney Scott Wissel said the sisters also want Southwest to stop using the rhyme and provide employee training to prevent such incidents."

it sounded immediately like a "SouthWest" thing to say, just as ShannonRush said. I would bet money on that and that this case will be thrown out of court. They have a small, cute remark for every mundane detail that flight attendants deal with routinely. Its pretty entertaining and helps you to forget that in a few minutes, you will be force-fed a hot chunk of cardboard for lunch.
i really believe that the legal system in the US needs a dramatic overhaul. I think there needs to be a better balance of boundaries to freedom - or you are not free if you are living your days knowing that someone can seriously disrupt your life for the most frivilous of reasons using the very system that should be protecting you.
i had a car accident once and even the people walking down the sidewalk immediately grabbed their necks and fell to the ground, writhing in pain and calling for help. many of these people were several blocks away. people came stumbling out of restaraunts and apartments holding their necks.
at that moment i realized that we have a legal system structured in such a way that it often will hurt the innocent just as much as it will punish the guilty.
in fact, by design, it encourages that behavior.
when you live in a place that has to have a label on a hair dryer saying "CAUTION: do not use while in the shower" - theres a real problem
