Airport and Aviation Humor: A Humorous Look at Passengers, T. S. A., Airport, and Airline Employees

"I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to share the lighter side of airport and aviation employees.â The vast majority of people I encountered at the airport [from all classes and careers], enjoyed humor. Additionally, I found that the average person can recognize the difference between fact and fiction, truth and lies and more importantly, humor versus sarcasm. As I mentioned earlier, humor has been determined to be a stress reducer, and often, a means of increasing morale.

Remember, I referred to actual passengers and employees in trying to encourage the innocent while protecting the guilty.
