my first US-encounter with a ff-flyer on my very first thrip (with Ozark on stand-by) in the US (in 1973) resultet in him questioning me:

- "where do you come from?"; my answer: "Switzerland"; he replied: "oh yes, I know Bjorn Borg". (Bjorn was/is Swede!).

- "what do you do?"; "importing beverages to Switzerland"; "Oh - why do all europeans drink mineral water with bubbles?"

- "HOW MUCH DO YOU EARN?"; "nothing at the moment - I took 2 months off to travel across your country".
