Funny comment overheard . . .
 
Related to me by some friends tonight:

They were returning to LAX on an overbooked UA flight. The FA was asking for VDB volunteers, offering a free ticket and guaranteed seat on the next flight out as incentive. A man sitting in front of them decided to take the offer, got up and got his carry-on out of the overhead. He headed up the aisle as a young woman, evidently an inexperienced flier, was coming down to take the seat. She seated herself and asked her seat mate why the man left. Her seat mate explained that he accepted the offer of a free ticket and seat on the next flight out.

"Oh," said the young woman. "Where does the next flight go?"

After reading that last line, I think I blew a few brain cells and took about 2 yrs off my life :rolleyes:

"Don't think about that sentence for more than 3 minutes or blood will shoot out your nose!"

was she blonde? ;) i know, i know but goalie-sis is blonde and where she will readily admit to having blonde moments, she has given me her left handed blessing to make blonde remarks but n.b. i must choose them wisely as where turnabout is fair play, she has coined a new phrase about me....."bald moments" ;)

Wouldn't it have been funny if one of them turned out to be on the wrong flight?

How do you resist the urge to screw with someone that naive?

OK, I have a tummy-ache from laughing so hard. Thanks for sharing.

I'm almost offended knowing there are people that naive out there.
