Flight Attendants Allowed to Slap Sex Pests ZURICH, Switzerland (Reuters) - Swissair flight attendants will be allowed to slap sex pests and can retaliate against other unruly passengers by tying them up in their seats. ``We do not recommend it, but we accept it if our staff reacts when assaulted and will defend our staff in court,´´ Swissair spokesman Erwin Schaerer said on Thursday. From Jan. 1, Swissair planes will be equipped with a kind of plastic handcuffs that can be used on unruly passengers. The number of instances of aggressive or unruly travelers rose to 502 cases in 1999 from 286 cases in 1996 while the total number of Swissair passengers rose to 14 million from 9 million. The spokesman said that about one-third of these incidents were related to alcohol consumption and another third to the ban on smoking on board. Sexual assaults and cases of ``air rage´´ that force jets to make unscheduled stops were very rare. ---------------------- Cash Dispenser Spreads Christmas Cheer PARIS (Reuters) - A cash dispenser went awry in a supermarket in the Riviera town of Antibes over the weekend, giving double the amount requested but registering only the amount asked for, the daily Le Figaro said on Monday. ``It must have been the work of Father Christmas,´´ the newspaper quoted one delighted patron as saying as he joined a long queue of clients who took advantage of the windfall before the error was discovered and the machine shut down. Supermarket officials said they would take action against employees who took advantage of the mistake but the newspaper said it was the supermarket itself which most benefited since much of the extra money was apparently spent on the premises for Christmas gifts. ------------------ [This message has been edited by countingcrow (edited December 27, 2000).]
I´ve heard a funny story about the Polish... with winter hitting Europe, 13 Poles died in one night. Apparently, they were all drunk and fell asleep on their way home...well, it´s was too damn cold... That´s no joke... ------------------ What do you expect from someone who beats up his fiancee?
I've actually seen an ATM make a few screwups like that. Once, my ex pulsed some money, something like $70 and the machine gave her around $200 and only noted $70 on the receipt. ------------------ President of the Moochie Norris Fan Club - est. 99-00
