off topic - Joke of the day!

Today we received back a paper, which we submitted in an US Journal.
The reason was that:
We used the technical expression of "daughter airways". This is a expression used for decades in our area. The reviewer argues that there is a sexual bias in this expression.

I suggested now to use daughter and brother airways in a changing order. However I fear that I will be accused of promoting incest between airways.
(You never know what brothers and daughters will do if they are so close together)

Have a nice day!
