Flight Delay

Postby Мастер » Fri Jul 21, 2006 7:36 am

My 14.5 hour flight into Chicago is delayed, leaving me almost no connection time there. Answer the poll question. Betting closes at 7:30 PM CDT Friday evening, which is 17 hours from now.

You needed a 3rd option: Will miss flight and spend the night at Candy's. :P

Option 4: Inveterate world travellor KOS is well heeled enough to tell the arrival gate agent to inform the connecting flight he is in the airport and running for the gate, knowing they will wait a few minutes for him. or better yet tell the flight attendant to do it for him.

And the correct answer is - the first one! Faster than OJ through ORD, but saved only by the fact that the connecting flight was late also. . .

Wouldn't work, the airline hates my guts.

Did it ever occur to you that I might be the real killer?

Did it ever occur to you that I already knew that and was just offering an alibi against future considerations? Someday I might need some corroboration that I was NOT with those Swedish airline hostesses all evening.

OK, I think there is some mutually advantageous arrangement possible here then.

This just reminded my of an incident that happened in the air passenger terminal at Kadena AB when I was stationed there. A female passenger was sleeping in the waiting area late one night, and awoke to find some guy masterbating on top of her head. She started screaming, he ran away, and she wasn't able to give us a description of him. So, KOS, be careful out there.

Off the many strange things that have happened to me in airports, I'm afraid none of them quite rank up there with this incident. . .

With you being in Chicago, I had this image of you waking up to Candy sitting on your......lap. :P

Could happen. It was even her evil airline on which I flew. They didn't lose my baggage. First time for everything.

Never met Candy in person, don't post pictures of myself, and don't use a real name, so I don't know how she would. Unless perhaps she could read it in my reaction when I saw her.

You saw Candy?!? What was she doing? I always thought she had some office away from the public. Far away.

Yes, I know. I thought you meant you had seen her at the airport in the scope of her employment.

I think KOS meant that if he had seen her, his shocked look might have given him away.
