Then I suddenly stopped in my tracks when I realized who the homeless person had been ... it was James Goodwin; UA had finally come to its senses and put him back where they found him.

But the Northwest plane ended up stuck on the tarmac, with a blizzard bearing down on the airport. As it was a short flight, they only had pretzels aboard, which Mr. Goodwin had brought along with him (in fact, several cases) so all the passengers could enjoy them.

The cargo hold seating arrangement had been schemed up by the airline execs in an effort to one up their competition who kept removing seats to make more room; there was now an ever expansive amount of room, but no cushy seats that double as flotation devices in the unlikely event of a survivable water landing.

Then airport security found Jim Goodwin riding on a baggage belt (half frozen) looking for the good doctor who had so graciously given him a new seat assignent

"Oh no ewe don't," cried Catcop, "no jokes about dimpled chads - or that other kind, either!"
