Can't search for 'I wish I hadn't said that...' so I'll stick this little anecdote here, (seeing as half of my life story is on this thread anyway)
In a bar, in a hotel, somewhere in the Eastern Mediterranean. Several crews having their warm up drinks while waiting for the Co-Pilot to show up with the money.
Barmaid: Excuse me sir, where is Captain of 216?
(Aha, I know this one, years of experience, good at pre-judging people)
Me: Well, my dear, my guess is that he's the grey haired distinguished looking gentleman in the cravat sipping a Pimms over there with all the Tristar pouffs.
Barmaid: Thankyou meester. Something about a 2 hour delay.
Returns to sprint drinking, lantern swinging etc
5 mins later
Barmaid: Excuse me sir, where is Captain from Room 216?
Me: Ah. That'll be my Captain then, he's...er...stood right here.
NOW WHAT WERE THE CHANCES OF THAT HAPPENING THEN?
