Decide my recent funny viewing may violate the t and c's. So, deleted.
But it sure made me giggle waiting at the gate.

Hmmm, not getting into the RCC might not be as painful after all, now I have a new game to play at the gate. I will teach Mini DG the game as well .
Mini DG and I dont have very interesting names on the upgrade lists and they dont make words so I wont bother posting here.

I can see it now, you are awaiting an upgrade and BAR/T come up with a new seat assignment. You rush to the desk to claim your upgrade and .... it's not you! But-but-but BAR/T is my name! Makes me wonder if the GAs face this from time to time...
I would do a double take if I saw PAT/M up on the board too.

Well I'm sure the passengers have been waiting for BART to upgrade too. I took a ride to SFO two weeks ago on a train and all I could wonder was if it always smelled that bad inside. Well I found out a few days later that it was pretty much true, although the one with linoleum floors smelled less bad than the one with carpets.
