Somewhere there's an SAA check in agent who may remember being asked by a young man if he could have a seat near the braai (that's the proper word for what the rest of the world calls a barbecue) on a CPT - LON flight.
A friend of mine came over and on the way to the airport I told him that on the northbound flights from CPT they had a braai on board, and when you check in you ask for a seat near that and they give you a little pack of chops and wors. He did!
I honestly don't know who comes out looking more stupid from that oh-so witty little tale: the guy who asked for the seat, or the fool who told him the story.
