Laughter is the Best Medicine
A crowded United Airlines flight was canceled. A single agent was
re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.
Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk.
He slapped his ticket on the counter and said "I HAVE to be on this flight
and it has to be FIRST CLASS." The agent replied, "I am sorry, sir. I'll be
happy to try to help you,but, I've got to help these folks first, and I'm
sure we'll be able to work something out."
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers
behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"
Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address
microphone, "May I have your attention please, " she began, her voice heard
clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO
DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS.
If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14."
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at
the United agent, gritted his teeth and swore "F*** You!".
Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to get
in line for that too."
