Ah, to be as quick thinking when met with belligerence. The below might be true or might not, but it’s still pretty funny! Enjoy!

MP900285144(1)A crowded United Airlines flight was cancelled.

A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.

Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his
ticket on the counter and said:-

“I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS.”

The agent replied: “I’m sorry, sir. I’ll be happy to try to help you, but
I’ve got to help these folks
first; and then I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.”

The passenger was unimpressed.

He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear: “DO YOU HAVE
ANY IDEA WHO I AM?”

Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address
microphone.

“May I have your attention, please?”, she began, her voice heard clearly
throughout the terminal.

“We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone
can
help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14.”

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at
the United
Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said: “Screw You!”

Without flinching, she smiled and said:

“I’m sorry sir, you’ll have to get in line for that, too.”
