The "UNTIED AIRLINES" sign on the baggage cart was, I suspect, a
deliberate joke by an employee.  Some employees are like that.  For
years somebody at the Kroger near Duke has been turning off the K and
the R in the sign and leaving OGER.

Which brings up an interesting puzzle:  What other famous signs can be
amusingly corrupted by selective darkening of individual letters?
