The joys of air-travel

Funny things I was told in the US:

1. By the Air-hostess in response to a question I asked “you know what sweetie, you just leave the plane and follow the instructions. This is America and in America we always tell you what to do. All you need to do is follow, like cattle. That’s why folks who can’t read like to come here. They know what to do because we tell them.”

2. TSA Agent as I was hauled in the scanner “my wife used to have long hair like yours and boy do I miss it now, looking at yours.”

3. Taxi driver “I do love corned beef, we eat corned beef on St Patrick’s day. I couldn’t have any corned beef when I was serving in Irak. There is no corned beef in that sandbox.”

This was after a 14 hour trip and 2 “random” searches at Paris Charles de Gaulle. One needs to be a zen master to travel these days.
