As I type this, I'm 33,000 feet up sitting next to some guy who keeps yelling at the flight attendant to turn down the engine noise because its too loud for him to concentrate on reading his newspaper. Apparetly he has underestimated the need for the engines to actually be operating. I'd like to say something witty and entertaining, but what can you do? Here's something sent in by James Stevens at HP that tells what an airline ticket agent did for a rude customer. *** Fly the Friendly Skies An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in Denver for being smart and funny, and making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo. During the final days at Denver's old Stapleton airport, a crowded United flight was canceled. A single agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS." The agent replied, "I'm sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "Do you have any idea who I am?" Without hesitating, the gate agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention please?" she began, her voice bellowing throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at the gate WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to the gate." With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth and swore "(Expletive) you." Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to stand in line for that, too." The man retreated as the people in the terminal applauded loudly. Although the flight was canceled and people were late, they were no longer angry at United. \=/, _-===-_-====-_-===-_-==========-_-====-_ | @___oo ( Joke of the Day! )_ /\ /\ / (___,,,}_--= ) ) /^\) ^\/ _) =__ To be added or deleted, send e-mail ) ) /^\/ _) (_ To: majordomo@gnt.com ) ) _ / / _) ( ) /\ )/\/ || | )_) (_ In the body of the message, type ) < > |(,,) )__) ( the word SUBSCRIBE JOKE ) || / \)___)\ (_ UNSUBSCRIBE JOKE __) | \____( )___) )___ -==-_____-=====-_____-=====-___== \______(_______;;; __;;; ...
