Travel Agents' Nightmares
A Washington , DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of 'why'
his country is in trouble!
1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that her
hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)
2. I got a call from a candidate's staffer, who wanted to go to
Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport
information, and then she interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make
you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts ...'' Without trying
to make her look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in
Massachusetts , Capetown is in Africa '' Her response -- click.
3. A senior Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida package we
did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was
expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since
Orlando is in the middle of the state.
He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very
thin state!'' (OMG)
4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, ''Is it possible to
see England from Canada ?'' I said, ''No.'' She said, ''But they look so
close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)
5. An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he could rent a
car in Dallas . I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a
1-hour layover in Dallas . When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he
said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive
between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)
6. An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know how it
was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to
Chicago at 8:33 a.m. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois
, but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her
the plane went fast, and she bought that.
7. A New York lawmaker called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical
description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I
said, 'No, why do you ask?' She replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the
airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight.
I think that's very rude!''
After putting her on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was
dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca.
is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a
destination tag on her luggage.
8. A Senator's aide called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii
After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to
fly to California and then take the train To Hawaii ?''
9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman who asked, ''How do
I know which plane to get on?'' I asked him what exactly he meant, to which
he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes
have numbers on them.''
10. A lady Senator called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola,
Florida ... Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?'' I
asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane. She said,
''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''
11. A senior Senator called and had a question about the documents he
needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about
passports, I reminded him that he needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've
been to China many times and never had to have one of those.'' I double
checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he
said, ''Look, I've been to China four times. and every time they have
accepted my American Express!''
12. A New Mexico Congress woman called to make reservations, ''I want to go
from Chicago to Rhino, New York .'' I was at a loss for words. > Finally, I
said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?'' 'Yes, what flights do
you have?'' replied the lady. After some searching, I came back with ''I'm
sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't
find a rhino anywhere." ''The lady retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone
knows where it is. Check your map!''
So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You
don't mean Buffalo , do you?'' The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big >
animal.''
Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in! Could anyone
be this dumb?
YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.
I don't write it, I just offer it for your consideration. Like manure,
you just gotta spread it around.
