My Aunt was sitting next to Sam Torrenance on the BA flight back from JFK a few months ago - doors were open and on the ground, and she sent an e-mail from her blackberry to a number of us in the family asking our opinion on whether it would be appropriate to ask for his autograph (she's into golf). Before my reply was composed, she had sent another e-mail saying he'd got upgraded to First.
Oh to be famous ...
