Hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend, here we go…

American Flight 1384 from Barbados BGI to JFK
Female Passenger 1 – Wow, you got so much color down here, how long were you in Barbados for?
Female Passenger 2 – I was here for 6 nights but this is my natural color
Female Passenger 1 – I wish I could get that dark
Female Passenger 2 – No, natural as in I’m black
Female Passenger 1 – I know I can see, I’m totally jealous.  So do you get this color in New York during the summer as well or it’s the Caribbean sun?
Female Passenger 2 – (rolls her eyes and puts on her headphones)

ditty for ditsy flight attendants when tossed “snacks”:

“Not long of tooth or memory
An elephant I’ll never be.
No peanuts, please!”

I’ve tried it a few times, but have been consistently met by total bafflement.
My madness, I suppose. Oh well…..
