Now that tax season is over (at least, phase I), today TaxMama® wants to treat you to a little fun. Until now, I’ve preyed on your fear of taxes. Today, let’s play with your fear of flying.
Dear Family,
If you think your recent airline trip was bad, wait until you hear about mine!
I was flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles. By the time we took off, there had been a 45-minute delay and everybody on board was ticked.
Unexpectedly, we stopped in Sacramento on the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be another 45-minute delay, and if we wanted to get off the aircraft, we would re board in 30 minutes. [Grrr..we could have driven to Los Angeles by now!]
Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind. I noticed him as I walked by and could tell he had flown before because his Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight. I could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him and, calling him by name, said, “Keith, we’re in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?”
Keith replied, “No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs.”
Picture this…all the people in the gate area came to an utter and completely quiet standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with the Seeing Eye dog! Their pilot was even wearing dark sunglasses.
People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, they also were trying to change airlines!
