744 :rolleyes:
At least we have TG J to look forward to this evening. That is the flight I took back, It was the same 744 that left us stranded in FRA for 10 hours with an engine leak on Christmas Eve http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2458/...445c8de563.jpg |

Yawn. Looking for work is very tiring. More tiring than actual paid work. I need a vacation.
I see the stink plane thread is still going strong. |

My sister's significant other works at a Four Seasons. They're basically told that unless a guest asks for something illegal, they're not allowed to say no.
Have fun with that.

Yes, hello, this is room 417. I would like an Aardvark delivered to my room, please.
... Yes, an Aardvark. ... Unfortunately, I cannot hold. I have a meeting to attend. I will need that Aardvark by 15:00 tomorrow. ... Thank you. |

Old true story: a concierge in Chicago was approached by a guest and was told that the guest required a bag of eyeballs. The guest was speaking at an ophthalmology conference and wanted to put a handful of eyes in glass bowls at each table in the room. Conference was happening the next day. The concierge struggled and struggled before realizing that the Chicago stockyards would be the perfect answer, as the guest never specified that the eyes be human or glass or fake or whatever. The stockyard had no need for the eyes, so the hotel sent someone to get them.

There's also the one about the guy who walked up to a concierge somewhere in Florida and requested that he procure a necklace of mako shark teeth. Guest says money is no object. Concierge calls a commercial fishing operation who says they would be happy to fetch a Mako out of Teh Ocean for the guest. Fishery severs the head and packs it in dry ice, ships to hotel. Concierge calls in favor with executive chef of the hotel, who has his people boil the head and extract the teeth. Teeth are forwarded to a local jeweler. Total time: 48 hours. Cost: $15K.

I have actually called around cities hitting every butcher shop/slaughterhouse searching for pig's eyes to demo/train on a piece of surgical equipment. I usually have eyes shipped in from a company in TX but if I need them last-minute, I have to improvise.
Gross....gross....grosss... just gross..... :eek: |
