While trying to fly to Memphis today I began paging through my photo stream and came upon this picture.
It was the front page of the in-flight snacks menu that American Airlines was giving out just a month ago, mere moments before they merged with US Air.
I took a picture of it with my phone, it looked so strange to me.
I suppose they’ve destroyed all copies of the thing by now, bearing as it did the ‘old’ AA logo and a good thing too. It looks like the man has two sandwich halves for legs. What’s the guy silently saying anyway?
- “You’ve heard of mermaids”?
- “Eat My Legs?”
- “Try running on these babies, Mr. Pistorius!”?
Really all I could think was, ”Fire the jokers who designed this one!”
Speaking of ads, don’t you love the little gecko for Geico? He is so adorable – I wish they would market him as a stuffed animal. It has been said that his accent is Cockney, but I thought it was Australian. Anyway, I have a crush on the little guy.
Joan, I love that little guy, too, especially the commercial where he gets the giggles. Terry, did you ever make it to Memphis?
