Many years ago some friends and I were heading to Dallas from New York to see a Cowboy's game. We were having fun messing around with each other but we could not top what was about to happen by accident.

My friend sitting in an aisle seat leaned over into the aisle to talk to the person sitting behind him. He was unaware that an FA walking backwards from the front to the back of the plane rolling a beverage cart was about to hit him.

We hollared for him to watch out, only to have him turn around precisely as the FA's rear end bumped into his face. They both were a bit red-faced and apologetic. We all quietly laughed because we could not have planned something as hysterical as that to happen.

My friend must have had too many drinks on that trip because the exact same scenario played out again a little while later. This time nobody could contain their laughter. Not once, but twice it happened. It may have been a different FA going in a different direction, but that did not matter. He was so embarrassed.

Needless to say my friend no longer leaned over into the aisle anymore. He turned around in his seat and talked over his headrest when he had to.
