While on a long check-in line at the airport, I noticed an airline agent cheerfully directing people to other counters for quicker service. When she asked one businessman his destination, he shouted, “I'm going to New York City and I'm late! What are you going to do for me?” The employee took a moment to refer to her chart. “Oh, great!” the impatient passenger remarked. “I need help, and I get stuck with a blonde.” She kept her eyes on the flight sheet, then looked up at him with a smile. “Oh, my,” she sighed. “Ditz that I am, I just can't think of a single thing to do for you.” And she walked away. The man missed his flight.
在飞机场长长的队伍中等着办理登机手续,我看见一个航空公司的工作人员正高兴地疏导乘客到其他窗口去办得快一点。当她问到一个生意人到哪里去的时候,他大喊道:“我要到纽约去,我已经晚了。你打算怎样帮我?”就在这位工作人员查看时刻表的功夫,这个不耐烦的乘客评论说:“噢,太棒了!我需要帮助,而我却被一个金发女郎耽误了。”她继续在时刻表上查看,然后抬起头来,微笑地看着他,叹了一口气说:“天哪,我真笨,我一点也想不出来怎么帮你。”然后她就走开了。这个男子误机了。
