Thick on purpose
My latest attempt to get myself immortalized in these pages failed miserably:
During boarding for a transatlantic redeye, I was seated right behind the boarding door; a flight attendant was seated in the aft-facing seats right in front of the boarding door. Passengers were boarding through the door between us.
Me: "Gee, are people going to be coming and going through this door all night? That'll make it hard to get any sleep."
FA, without betraying even a hint of a snicker, "No, sir, as soon as we finish boarding we'll close the door, and it'll stay closed for the whole flight. "
I complimented him on his professionalism, and explained that I had been trying to get my moment of fame in "thick passenger comments." He laughed, and said, "I must be tired or something, I just answered your question without even noticing that it was completely insane."
