Even though it seldom occurs, bribery is not out of the question. It may have been four days since anything but airline food has touched our lips. For one box of hermetically sealed chocolates, we will be indebted to you for your whole life (or for the duration of flight, whichever is shorter), no matter how much of a burden you are after the fact.

This one is pretty funny. I love it when passenger or other flight crew bring us chocolates and other goodies from the different countries they have come from. If nothing but neat to see what they have in said countries, I love it. We had to deplane once due to a mechanical and one of the passengers said he was going in to get a smoothie. I replied that it sounded good and I wanted one. I didn’t actually expect him to do it! I was however, really really thankful since I just so happened to really want one. I just didn’t have the time or money to get one for myself!
