Haven't seen this here yet so I thought I'd share.

Not mine of course. With renaming palm beach airport, if you flew from Fresno, CA to Fukuoka, Japan, and the to Palm Beach, Miami, your ticket would read: FAT > FUK > DJT

and that’s priceless.

...near where we live.

The sign for the place is msufcu.

I doubt I am the only person whose brain sees this as "msu fuck you." I laugh every time I drive by, and am surprised the company didn't choose something else.

My retired pilot husband got a chuckle out of this post.

Each of the production tools at Intel factories have unique designated names to identify them.
Years ago there was a tool named D One L D Zero. All was fine until they printed the placards:
D1LD0

that "FAT" was offensive. Fortunately cooler heads prevailed, and "FAT" which stands for Fresno Air Terminal are still the call letters today.

Oakland tried something similar but was successful. They changed the name of "Oakland Airport" to "Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport". Sometimes I wish these folks who do this crap would focus their energy into something else. "Oakland Airport" is just fine, as is "FAT".

my boarding pass, sign me up. Hell, I’d even share a seat with another FFD to make the point, but Hegsbreath and RFK would have my itinerary cancelled for being overweight.
