Additional fees may apply

Hey, cool, I could time share a Learjet from FlexJet for $4,600 a month!  That’s pretty spendy, but much lower than I’d expect, so I decided to take a closer look at the ad in USA Today (America’s “I wouldn’t read it if it wasn’t for the Hotel giving it to me” newspaper).



INTRODUCING A REVOLUTION IN FRACTIONAL JET OWNERSHIP.  For as little as $4,600 per month,*…


Okay, there’s the “*”, I knew there’d be a catch.  What’s the extra damage?  There’s a monthly management fee of $6,485 and an hourly rate of $1,760.  I love it that their monthly fee has additional monthly fees.


You know guys, you could get many more customers if you just said:

Is that really a meteorological term?

I knew for sure I was in Redmond this morning when the local TV station’s weather forecast was “mild damp”.  I suppose if you’re a weather forecaster up here you need to be able to say more than “hey, it’s going to rain.”


On a related note, there really might not be all that many Eskimo words for snow.
