 You guys are the proud owners of someone we here in DC got rid of (sent
him back to the 4th dimension (aka NYC)).  I remember just after the
Air Florida 737 crashed into the 14th St. bridge here, How-weird called
Air Florida Reservations at National Airport (live, on the air), and
asked about the price of a one-way ticket to the 14th St. bridge.
There's nothing wrong with comedy, but when it comes at the expense of
others, and is as poor taste as his Air Florida call was, you guys can 
have him!!!!
