This had to be an "Awwww" moment

Yesterday my husband was on a Southwest flight from Houston coming back to San Antonio when the Captain announced that they had two penguins on board and that they were going to be released to roam up and down the aisles but that it would be appreciated if no one touched them. Awwwww, that would be hard too resist?

1. Are you kidding me?! I will make sure I fly that airline. :-D

They have such tight fitting feathers its almost like
patting a beetle. Sweet.

2. Not kidding you

I wish I had been on that flight.

3. They should be careful...If Al-Qaida find out about this there will be

a shortage of Penguin comstumes all over the U.S.!

Actually, that is the most badass thing I have evr heard. Holy crap its South West for me from now on.

4. OMG

I would just have to deal with whatever repercussions there were because one of those little critters would have ended up in my lap.

5. joke or no?

Sounds like the begining of a bad joke---"there were these two penguins walking through an airplane....."

7. No joke

Southwest is the official airlines for Sea World and the little ones were being delivered to Sea World San Antonio.

8. Southwest is and has always been my favorite airline

I just flew Southwest not longer ago but nothing like that took place. I'm jealous! AWWWWWWWWWW!

9. The official reason the penguins were on the flight

They had been at the Ronald McDonald House in Houston for a visit with the children and were being taken back to Sea World SA. They only took two trips up and down the aisle and then were put back in their cages in the front of the plane, strapped in. My husband flies Southwest every week between SA Dallas and Houston and seeing this was a first for him.
