eric,

you definitely get "creative" points!

joel welsh,

while i am sure you`re working up a response to eric who posted right before me, i would like to draw your and everyone else`s attention to one interesting observation:

it appears as though not davenny, but richard branson, owner of virgin airways (and everything else "virgin"), is the true winner of the southwest ticket. and since he has his own dozens of 747s already... is this really fair to the community?! now i could be amiss, here. it may just but that davenny used a photo of richard branson, a person he ASPIRES to be, instead of a photo of himself, in which case everything is fine and dandy...

(do we have a richard branson wannabe among us? what i say is, let`s get the real richard branson posting here! i am throwing down the gauntlet!)

Dear Rich,

Great eye, I was wondering how long it would take.  The reason I posted the photo of Richard Branson was for three reason.  The first reason is the joke, and you already got it, great job.

The second reason is because he is always smiling and I though it would be nice to have a smiling picture instead of a company logo.

The third and final reason was, an associate of your email me and asked me to post a picture, which unfortunately I do not have a high quality digital camera and therefore did not know how long it would take me to secure a picture of myself.

Great post, I am really glad you got the joke!

I thought that was Richard Branson. I wondered if davenny was actually him, but under a different name. I don`t know a lot about the man (Richard Branson that is) but what I do know is such an inspiration to me. I would love to have starbucks with him. I`d even pay for the coffee. Maybe even throw in a scone!
