Even just a cent!

Oh I would be so rich.....

Typical flight London - Italy. Club Europe cabin full of American passengers going on Med cruises, romantic breaks etc.

Me: "Madam would you like a hot towel?"

Madam: "Sure...." - opens her hand

Me: "Madam it's better if you handle it with care as it is REALLY hot" (We make them with boiling water from the brewers)

Madam: "oh....don't you have any COLD hot towels?"

Me: "................" (no suitable word comes to my head quickly enough so I decide to shut up).

PS: no offence to Americans, but many of my passengers from the other side of the Ocean seem to think that Hot Towel is a word!

Other example:

Pax asks "What is it?" - me: "It's a cheese and ham pizza"
Pax: "Oh, is it vegetarian?"

I sometimes think I might as well be a primary school teacher
