Well, nice to meet some of you jokers out there when visiting
Kansas City this past week.  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.
