    Well, there's a good lesson there, so I don't guess it REALLY matters if it's true or not, the underlying theme is that Karma is a bitch, and don't be a bigot. So the lessons are true. But if you're interested in the origins of the story... http://www.snopes.com/travel/airline/obnoxious.asp

    Go ahead DS1119, tell me I'm no fun.
