Do you think olive oil grows on trees? It's an Olive Garden, not an olive oil garden.

How many bottles of water does $200 buy these days?

LOL!

@Delta: imo, that $200 I left on the table would be well spent (invested?) in an hour of someone’s time to provide FA refresher training on FC service expectations

It's all a matter of perspective. Olive Garden is better that the alternative: Odead Garden.

I was abroad for a month. Upon my return, the immigration officer asked me, "How did you support yourself while there?" along with a couple of other slightly less silly questions. I mean, if I was doing the bookkeeping for the Sinoloa Cartel, I am unlikely to volunteer such information. Has anyone else been asked such a question?

The odd question department:
I arrived in Baltimore by train in the wee hours of the morning and had to call for a taxi.
Q: Could you send a cab to Penn Station?
A: What is the address?

I've only been to Baltimore a dozen or so times in my life and even I know were Penn Station is. It's in midtown Manhattan. I'm not sure why you'd take a taxi for 190 mile drive though.

She could have been talking to someone in California or many other places West of the Mountain Time zone.
