This is old shtick. In the ’70s a craphead (Packwood IIRC) created the Golden Goose Award. One of his targets was a physical anthropologist he derided for a study to take detailed body measurements of stewardesses. Guy was developing the kind of ergonomic jumpseats that kept the cabin attendants alive to get everybody off CPT Sully’s plane.

These fucking people.
