Ever since I had to take off my shoes and undo my belt, I've hated checking through security. And there's something really ...Another hilarious airline complaint letter. This time it's the food
Back in June 2007, Justin wrote a post about a hand-written complaint letter to Continental Airlines. The letter included illustrations that were as hilarious as the text.
