A business professor was giving a lecture on company slogans and was asking his students if they were familiar with them.
"Donna," he asked, "which company has the slogan,
'come fly the friendly skies'?"
Donna answered the correct airline.
"Bill, can you tell me which company has the slogan,
"Don't leave home without it?"
Bill answered the correct credit card company.
"Now Steve, Tell me which company bears the slogan, 'Just do it'?"
And Steve answered, "Mom...."
The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."
