I share a flat with an Irish girl in Luxembourg. One weekend, a friend of hers (very attractive girl who works for Aer Lingus as cabin crew) came to stay. My flatmate introduced us and the conversation went something like this:
Her:..... so what are you doing here in Luxembourg?
Me: I'm a student Air Traffic Controller
Her: Oh, interesting! I'm cabin crew with Aer Lingus.
Me: Ah! So you're just a dot on a radar screen
..... Gets coat. Tucks tail in between legs. Walks off shame face-dly.
(not really- profuse apologies followed and we cracked open another few cold ones and all was mended. I hope)
