I just had one of those CLASSIC airport moments…

I was down at Lefty’s on C Concourse, getting a diet coke. There was an
Airline Captain (in uniform, 4 stripes on his shoulderboards) in line
behind me, and as I was filling my cup (you know…one of those
self-serve things), he steps up to the counter, clearly a little bit
agitated, and *definitely* pressed for time, he kept glancing back at
his gate…asking the girl at the counter…
“How long does it take for the Chicken Caesar Salad?”
“About 5 minutes”
“5 Minutes? You’re sure?”
“Well, 5-7 minutes”
“5-7 minutes? No longer?”
…at which point, I touched him on the elbow to get his attention and
said, “They won’t leave without you…I promise.”

I grinned the whole way back to the office…
