‘Taint funny, Mcgee.

Alaska Air Wiki excerpt

I was shopping for discount plane fares, and noticed that Alaska Airlines used to be McGee airways.

This was during the Heyday of the Fibber Mcgee and Molly radio show. They probably changed it to Alaska Airlines because of situations like this:

I am terribly sorry to inform you that we are currently unable to locate your luggage. Customer: ” ‘Taint funny, Mcgee!!

They should have just went with it, and used Johnson Wax on the aisle, and maybe a terrible crash when anyone opened the cockpit door, like Fibber McGee’s closet. This was theater of the mind stuff.
