I remember that story! The guy had been on the plane since London--it flew from London to NYC, then to LA, where he thought he was going to get off and get a connecting flight to Oakland, CA. But the flight attendant, a Brit, said "If you are going on to Auckland", stay on the plane, and he thought she said "Oakland", so he stayed on. He was stuck on that plane all the way to New Zealand, and then he had to catch the next flight back to California.
It's amazing that somebody actually remembers the details. You're good!
Yes, now that you filled in the blanks, I do recall it better. Thanks.
I'm fascinated that there is a Yreka and Eureka in northern California.
They're not confusing, though. Yreka is prnounced why-REEK-a.
But in Texas, only about hour's drive apart, are Boerne and Burnet, pronounced BURN-ee and BURN-it, and combined with the word Texas, both sound almost exactly the same. Except in the letter, where one holds the tongue against the back of the teeth for a perceptible interval.
Menominee and Menomonie, Wisconsin, are 180 miles apart and pronounced the same.
The airplane mixup actually happened to my stepdaughter, who booked a flight with her travel agent to LaPaz, Bolivia, and when she got off the plane, discovered that she was in LaPaz, Baja, Mexico.
With all the news about Angelina Jolie's "preventative" mastectomy, it got me thinking about why that particular usage as opposed to just plain "preventive". I always thought preventive was the correct usage.
I've never heard "inventative" or incentative or anything similar. Thoughts, anyone?
Well, I happened to be thinking about boobs today. And posted a little song parody down in FLA forums on that very subject, involving cancer screenings and mammograms. So that was in my head.
And I went with the tata connection and made a little joke. The parody in question.
Lumps (Apologies to Van Halen - Jump)
Hit me Jam Master PDFanHalen
I get up
And nothing gets me down
You've got it tough
I've seen the toughest around
And I don't know
Baby just how you feel
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
Ah can't you see me standing here against the breast exam machine
It's not the worst that we've seen
Ah can't you see what I mean
Ahh might as well self-exam
Check for the Lump
Go ahead check for lumps
Go ahead check for lumps
Hello, hey you, who said that
Maybe how you been
You say you won't know, you won't know until you begin
Ah can't you see me standing here against the breast exam machine
It's not the worst that we've seen
Ah can't you see what I mean
Ahh might as well self-exam
Check for the Lump
Go ahead check for lumps
Go ahead check for lumps
Check for those lumps
Lumps
Go ahead Lumps
Get it in Lumps
Go ahead Lumps
Pink Ribbon in your hair.
Then I wrote a poem about boobs, inspired by the thought process and sent it to a few friends. If no one is offended I will post it. But, it's PG-13 type stuff. I had a picture of Pam Anderson in her LaBatt's shirt she was discovered in, and Cher in a Bob Mackey Indian getup, but I'm not gonna link them in.
Spoiler
Boobalicious.

Today has been a boobs day so far. That and in FFA down in music for fun. It's all for fun, just to share.
I just take what I read on the forum or the music I listen to and write something quickly.

I'm thinking maybe you're male, bountybligh, since it's doubtful a female would write a parody of breast cancer. Fortunately, I've not had it and, am so thankful. I'm only writing to suggest you honor testicular cancer with a cute parody. I think men would be appreciative. It's the same type as breast cancer. My uncle had it and eventually much of his genitalia rotted off. Really funny material, eh?
That's why I recommend early screenings and self exams right in the song my hypercritical dear.
He should have seen a doctor certainly. I'm guessing he ignored pain in his testicles for quite awhile.
By special request:
You Dropped a Ball on Me (Apologies to The Gap Band - You Dropped a Bomb on Me)
