My wife and I have a special place in our life for the Boeing 747.
In Command of a 747-300 from Los Angeles to Tokyo, I finished my Welcome Aboard speech with a comment that if it is your birthday make the most of it, because we will shortly be crossing the Date Line and it will all be over. ( or words to that effect )
Later in the flight a member of the cabin crew appeared on the flight deck and handed me a Menu Card on which birthday greetings had been drawn on the back, and told me that a lady downstairs had made it known that it was indeed her birthday, and the card had been signed by all the crew, so would I also please sign it ?
No, I replied, not until I've seen her, bring her up.
We got married 6 months later.
