#2 Even if true, it was o.k. for airlines to increase prices for people wanting to flee a hurricane, a hurricane the a US Gummint agency said would slam the area. But guess what? The hurricane didn't hit with the force they said it would. So, two messed up things here. Meanwhile, airline execs were laughing all the way to their brokers for more stock buy-backs.

#4 But if he was selling it online, it would be ok?

Thought crossed my mind the other day looking for something the fishball people bought up.

I had to look both names up (and then insist to the DuckDuck search engine that I am not interested in Pavarotti at the moment, thanks) but only on Rantburg have I encountered such esoteric jokes posted with the full expectation that they will be understood and appreciated. Well played, Mr. Roti.

#7 I looked up both after your comment, TW. Found a pickles reference, but DD only looped back to your comment on RB. So, too esoteric for me but hilarious in that it presented your comment; a kind of temporal loop.

#9 Sardaar Ji

When I ran my search, Pakvi Roti popped up writing critiques of the thing.

#10 Sardar or Sardaar refers to a male Sikh, the "Ji" is an honorific similar to Sir. A femal Sikh would be referred to as a Sardar Ni.

My nym is even more interesting. Roti of course is Indian form of flat bread like parantha's or chapattis. Pakvi is a very obscure (almost slang) Punjabi word from pre-partition Punjab village called Multan. A roti that well cooked was said to be pakvi. The thrust of the my comments was to imply that the gentleman that was busted is a Sikh and his behavior is not unusual for a Sikh.

I do hope I haven't thrown the time/space equilibrium out of whack.
