I had had a long week and a few cocktails.... I grabbed my cell phone...put it to my ear and yelled at the top of my lungs " I am very important!!!! I am in first class!!!! All on here must bow before me!!!!" I mean I screamed it.... the plane grew eerily quiet.... the people boarding stopped in their tracks.... it was an Md88... the guy kinda turns around, stands up and asks me if I have a problem.... I stand up.... my head touches the ceiling in a MD88... I have a foot and 100 lbs on this guy...not that I was gonna fight him.... I say " Yessir, I do not care about you.... I am not impressed with you... and I damn sure do not care to hear your phone conversation ..." Then, everyone in first class starts clapping.... it was an epic moment in aviation history... i am glad to have been a part of it...
