Recombobulation: Try that for your next Scrabble game
Mitchell Memo (Milwaukee's Mitchell
Field International Airport)
Sign made by TAPCO
By now it’s quite possible that you have heard or read about MKE’s unique
“Recombobulation Area,” where passengers can collect their belongings and
themselves following a security screening.
Call it well-timed comedic humor, or luck.
These self-deprecating signs have struck a funny bone
(and scored smiles) in many an awkward situation.
Besides media attention ranging from the Boston Globe
to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the American Dialect
Society recently bestowed the honor of “most creative phrase of 2008”
on MKE for its contemporary word creation.
