Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

I was cold but you charged me $8 for a pillow and blanket. I was hungry but you extorted $4.49 for a cracker and $3.39 for a “big chocolate cookie.” I came bearing liquid refreshment as gifts but you docked me $25 to check the small bag that carried it. I needed liquor to muffle the screeching of the baby behind me, but you charged for that, too. I paid $12.95 for the Internet since you wouldn’t allow me to pay for just the half hour I needed to voice this complaint. What’s next? $7.56 for use of the lavatory? $10.67 to rent an overhead bin? $25.55 just to breathe? $35.46 for the use of the oxygen mask in the case of emergency? American Airlines: You Get What You Pay For. And Nothing More.
