Subject: ***** ARE YOU GAY ***** ??????
|
|
|
|
I heard this one recently from a "friend". It could have happened so it
|
|
must be true. My "friend" claims to have seen it in the local Lesbian/Gay
|
|
newsletter.
|
|
|
|
ARE YOU GAY?
|
|
|
|
An employee for USAir, who happened to have the last name of GAY, got on a
|
|
plane recently using one of his company's "Free Flight" programs. However,
|
|
when Mr. Gay tried to take his seat, he found it being occupied by a paying
|
|
passenger. So, not to make a fuss, he simply chose another seat.
|
|
|
|
Unknown to Mr. Gay, another USAir flight at the airport experienced
|
|
mechanical problems. The passengers of this other flight were being
|
|
rerouted to various airplanes. A few were put on Mr. Gay's flight and anyone
|
|
who was holding a "free" ticket was being "bumped".
|
|
|
|
Airline officials, armed with a list of these "freebee" ticket holders
|
|
boarded the plane to remove the free ticket holders. Of course, our Mr. Gay
|
|
was not sitting in his assigned seat as you may remember.
|
|
|
|
So when the Ticket Agent approached the seat where Mr. Gay was supposed to
|
|
be sitting, she asked a startled customer "Are you Gay?". The man, shyly
|
|
nodded that he was, at which point she demanded: "Then you have to get off
|
|
the plane".
|
|
|
|
Our Mr. Gay, overhearing what the Ticket Agent had said, tried to clear up
|
|
the situation: "You've got the wrong man. I'm Gay!". This caused an angry
|
|
third passenger to yell "Hell, I'm gay too! They can't kick us all off!"
|
|
Confusion reined as more an more passengers began yelling that USAir had
|
|
no right to remove gays from their flights.
|
|
|
|
As far as I know, they are still on the tarmac fighting it out. ;-)
