My wife traveled to Las Vegas last Saturday and while she isn’t a hard core airliner fan like me, she knows her stuff from hanging out with me. 

While on the aircraft, she noticed a no smoking symbol sign on her seat.  Right above the ashtray.  Being friendly, she asked the flight attendant why on earth would that aircraft have ashtrays when smoking has been banned for 20 years. 

The flight attendant’s reply? 

“This airplane was built in the 1950’s and they don’t want to spend the money to update it.”

Yes, seriously.  No kidding.  She said that.

Tsk, tsk, Southwest.  Your flight attendants ought to know better than that.
