Moreover, they are all winter pants. In Israel, the winter will be over before she can use them all.

Dov, I understand why you are divorced if you don't know the answer to this question.

Ok, made it back home. Our flight out of Pisa to MXP on AZ got cancelled due to fog, so we did PSA-CDG-ORD on AF.
AF did a nice job, good food, good crew; but CDG is a royal mess. Took 1:05 from when the PSA flight rolled to a stop until we reached the gate for the ORD flight, and that with no lines for passport control or security. (which included two busses- we departed from a satellite gate at E, had to take a long bus ride from the main 2E terminal). And the Parisian security has fully bought into the TSA window dressing (well, not fully, we got to keep our shoes on). They confiscated my empty water bottle, the very same bottle which has cleared ORD, SLC, YYC, MXP, PSA, ATL and SLC since Aug. 10. I elevated it to the supervisor, but he insisted that empty .33 liter bottles are dangerous (all the while they are handing out stacks of 1 liter plastic ziplock baggies).
Of course, we still had one more empty bottle in a rollaboard, and we popped in the lounge and picked up a couple of full ones.
MXP is so much more civilized. (but AF runs a much tighter ship than AZ)

And we could always talk about women and shoe-buying.....
Anyway, just to celebrate your 1,000th here in The Lounge™, and the general theme of women and DeltaDames.... here is tonight's cocktail!
Bad Girl Cocktail
» D E S C R I P T I O N
A mix of tasty liqueurs and banana; this cocktail is tasty and fun, just like all bad girls are.
2 tsp Galliano
1/2 oz banana liqueur
1/2 oz Malibu
1/2 oz Advocaat (Dutch Egg Nog)
1/2 oz cream
1/2 a ripe banana
Add to blender; blend until smooth. Serve in a martini glass, of course!

Edible panties, poison pen, sexy boots, and enough money to take a cab ride home.

And I take offense to being categorized with Dovster, though you can stick me and aucarol together anytime.

And trust me, the moment is not ruined until:
- check-out time
- alcohol/stimulants run out and reality sets in
- untimely arrival of spouse/partner
- anyone imitating Dov
- untimely arrival of Dov
