Ask yourself: self, how much would I need to be paid to be AA’s spokesperson and field questions on this little mishap. I’ll turn the comments on for Tim Wagner.
New headline: “Editor Misplaces Letter” Sub-headline: “Grammar king needs to spell check ‘field,’ which was originally posted as “‘filed.’”

Wonder where they filed the body?

“Wonder where they filed the body?”
In a field, obviously.
@ 10:04 am on September 10, 2008
OK, it’s fixed. Maybe have time for one more “filed” joke if you hurry.

Clearly, Tim (Rogers) has been defiled.
@ 10:10 am on September 10, 2008
too bad the corpse wasn’t a carryon. then, this could all have been avoided.

That would explain the funny taste of my in-flight meal the other day…
@ 10:12 am on September 10, 2008
Mmmm…. corpse. Tastes just like chicken.

Somehow, life has chosen to imitate one of the few bright spots in my (mostly) horrible filmography. Hooray AA for making me relevant again, if only for a fleeting moment.

American probably just enjoyed having a customer that wasn’t complaining.
@ 11:03 am on September 10, 2008
Does this mean that, if you choose to fly American, you might actually be late for your own funeral?

What the story doesn’t tell you is that the people who put the body on the plane didn’t pay the $35 “first checked corpse” fee.
So really, it’s not AA’s fault.
