A Rude Acronym

Sometimes people get on the plane, and they're just huge. And one of the things this means is that the seatbelt will not fit all the way around them. So we have seatbelt extenders, which are an extra length of seatbelt, male on one side and female on the other, and you just plug it in to make a longer belt.
That in itself is not all that funny. What is funny is that they're mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration's Technical Standard Order, and that acronym is right there on the label on the belt.

The drawn out "a" makes it work that much better.
