B-B-B-Benny On the Jets

Dirt cheap budget airline Air Tran is slapping Elton John's bloated, gap-toothed mug on the sides of 20 jets. Because nothing says "cramped, tight spaces," "huge, hard phallic object," and "irrational fear of imminent doom" quite like Elton!

The new, improved, Reginald Dwightified planes are in honor of the airline launching satellite radio for each passenger, but we're more excited about the cornucopia of wisecracks buried in the press release. Lightning round begins now:

1. I hear that Air Tran gave the singer a 6 foot long model of a jet. We always pegged Elton as a size queen. Ding!

2. This probably isn't the first time Elton's head has been involved with a fleet of long, hard, phallic crafts. Ding!

3. The webmaster at Elton's website states, "Elton's head is about the same size as the one on the Statute of Liberty." No punchline necessary here. Ding!
