Traveling to Duluth

[cessna170bdriver]

If you're planning on heading to the convention via commercial airlines this summer, here's one option:


WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE LUTHERAN AIRLINES IS NOW OPERATING IN MINNYSOTA!

ALSO SERVING VISCONSIN, NORDERN MITCHIGEN, NORT & SOUT DAKOTA

If you are travelin soon, consider Lutran Air, the no-frills airline.
You're all in da same boat on Lutran Air, here flyin is a upliftin experience.

Dair is no first class on any Lutran Air flight.

Meals are potluck. Rows 1 tru 6, bring rolls; 7 tru 15, bring a salad;
16 tru 21, a hot dish, and 22-30, a dessert.

Basses and tenors please sit in da rear of da aircraft.

Everyone is responsible for his or her own baggage.

All fares are by free will offering, and da plane will not land til da budget is met.

Pay attention to your flight attendant, who vill acquaint you wit da
safety system aboard dis Lutran Air. Okay den, listen up; I'm only gonna say dis vonce:

In da event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, I am frankly gonna be real surprised and so vill Captain Olson, because ve fly right around two tousand feet, so loss of cabin pressure would probably mean da Second Coming or someting of dat nature, and I wouldn't bodder with doze liddle masks on da rubber tubes—you're gonna have bigger tings to worry about den dat. Just stuff doze back up in dair liddle holes.

Probably da masks fell out because of turbulence which, to be honest wit you, we're gonna have quite a bit of at two tousand feet, s orta like driving across a plowed field, but after a while you get used to it.

In da event of a water landing, I'd say forget it. Start saying da Lord's Prayer and just hope you get to da part about forgive us our sins as we forgive dose who sin against us, which some people say 'trespass against us,' but what can you do?

Da use of cell phones on da plane is strictly forbidden, not because day may confuse da plane's navigation system, which is by da pants all da way. No, it's because cell phones are a pain in da wazoo, and if God had meant you to use a cell phone, He wudda put your mout on da side of your head.

We start lunch right about noon and it's buffet style wit da coffeepot up front.

Den we'll have da hymn sing; hymnals are in da seat pockets in front of you. Don't take yours wit you when you go or I am gonna be real upset and I am not kiddin!

Right now I'll say Grace:< BR>
Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest
and let deze gifts to us be blessed.
Fader, Son, and Holy Ghost,
May we land in Dulut or pretty close.

You better tell president Wood that if he doesn't get his plane & himself ready to fly it to Duluth, he is going to get the last seat on this flight

Miles, that's real funny. I'd bet that Garrison Keillor could do that real justice if it's not copyrighted. Thanks for the laugh.

(Being Presbyterian has another perspective in that we pray "forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors". I think of it as a Scot thing since it's Calvinist.)

... I'd bet that Garrison Keillor could do that real justice if it's not copyrighted...

Yes, when first read it, I could almost hear Garrison Keillor telling the story. I suppose this airline could be HQ'd in Lake Wobegon.

My favorite part was the potluck. That has possibilities, but the TSA would probably confiscate the serving spoons.

The jello would have to be in bottles of no more than 100 grams, and no more than could fit in a 1-quart zip-lock bag.

We could go on and on....

Ya, sure, you betcha - dat was a good un, Miles!

Andrew, wow, non-stop service from Brainerd to Duluth. How slow would the plane have to be to get in a potluck AND a hymn singing?

Miles,
It's that " not landin' til da budget is met " part that will make the flight interesting . Knowin' how cheap people are (myself included ) , I'm bettin' the Ship gets dead-sticked in after it runs out of fuel . I like Adventures . Andrew
