Unusual passenger behavior in First Class. Funny and weird.

I think skylady was asking the question whether it could be Tourette's rather than offering up a medical diagnosis. If you're saying that Tourette's wouldn't manifest itself in this way then fine, you've answered her question. I'm sure it would be equally annoying if everyone assumed people who really did have Tourette's were just rude drunks.

I'm flying JFK-MIA first class. They call the first class passengers and they all board. I'm a bit late so I'm walking down the jetway behind everyone. All of a sudden, as loud as if it's on the p.a. system I hear a turkey gobble. You know those sounds turkeys make GOBBLE GOBBLE but identical to the bird. I ignore it. Then I hear it again, as plain as day.
I turn around and there is another first class passenger walking behind me making turkey noises at the top of his lungs. Middle class, white, dressed nice, type of guy.
ooooooooooooook. I think perhaps he's just playing around with little kids on the jetway or something.
I get in my seat and 5 minutes later I hear a faint turkey noise. Gobble gobble!
This guy is sitting in the last row of first class gobbling like a friggin turkey. He did it for about 20 minutes and finally went to sleep.
What kind of unusual passenger behavior do you find on these planes?

I'm suprised no one asked to him to be quiet. Seems annoying regardless of the class.

The OP should answer the question #20. I fly with a few turkeys also, most of them on DL, actually.
