Strange encounters of the HS kind....

On my way home from RDU on Wed night, I was sitting in a row at the back of the plane eating a first class dinner. This night, it happened to consist of Tortellini, cheesecake, and salad. I was sitting there eating it and talking to the other 2 flight attendants about Oprah, and how good/weird that day's episode had been. When out of nowhere comes a guy. He comes over and "joins" in our conversation about Oprah. He then looks at my meal and says, "yum, where can I get that." I just stared at him, and the other f/a told him we were out. So, he proceeds to pick the knife up off of my tray, dip into my tortellini, and EATS IT. WTH??? All three of us f/as just stared at him. Then he tells us that his mom is a flight attendant and she lives in Arlington. This is where it gets even weirder..

Of course, I ask him if he grew up in Arlington because, you know, I did... Yes, he did, and yes, he went to AHS. And wouldn't you know it... he graduated in 1995. (same as me)... So he tells me his name, and Introduce myself. ( I have never seen this person in my life.) He then tells me that he played football, and says, "Seriously you do not know me, I was the... (position)." In my head, "no dude, and you are getting slightly annoying"....
He then lists off all his friends, and knows NONE of mine. whatever.
Again, he is aghast that I do not know him, again tells me his position. I tell him (his position) did not get much glory in HS football. Then it CLICKS. I do know his name.

So, I remember how I know his name, and it is NOT from HS. He went out on a couple of dates with a friend of mine in Austin, and she called and made me look him up in the yearbook, and said he was a real weird dude! I lay it out for him, and tell him that I do in fact recognize his name, and it is b/c he dated my friend.... He had a million questions and BS things to talk about at this point. And he asked me if she was overweight.... NO, she is a marathoner and has a PERFECT body.... My stomach is starting to hurt at this point, and it is NOT from the meal...

Finally, I get up, go to first class, put myself in the lav until this DB would just go sit down.. It was all really weird.

I found a bottle of Oxycodone... on the plane. I will not lie. I almost kept it. Of course I sent it back to the man in major pain (or addict)...
Then I found a dollar in the van. I did keep that. Sort of, I gave it to the driver for his tip!!
I did lose my diamond tennis bracelet. By diamond, I mean CZ...
What goes around comes around.

PAs

Making PAs is just part of my job. Sometimes, of course, I get tongue twisted. Examples...

1. Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and once again welcome aboard flight 123 from DFW to XNA. Your flight crew for this flight is Capitan Dick Vagin.... uh, Dick Vaganan, he is assisted by..... blah blah...
