"OT - Wish I could think this fast"


  

          

Beth sent me this. Enjoy:



Wish I could think this fast.

An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent
in Denver for being smart and funny, while making
her point, when confronted with a passenger who
probably deserved to fly as cargo.

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 being 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, but you'll have to get in line for that too."

jkyler -

LOL

I don't think Jason or I believed that this was really true. We just thought it was cute. Jason loves to go to Snopes.com to straighten people out when he see something that looks fishy (I think it's his hobby). I'm actually kind of surprised that he didn't bother to look this one up. I have a feeling that might be because he knew it wasn't true and just liked it. Oh well, thanks for the link! I'll have to check out what they say about this one. They really do have a great site. Snopes has even been spotlighted on the National news thanks to all of the urban legends floating around these days.
