Day: July 17, 2014

* I called a girlfriend of mine who had just moved to Florida. Within a couple of sentences I realized she was pretty much down in the dumps. I asked what was wrong, she replied. “I am having a tropical depression.”

@ As a worker at Walt Disney world in Florida one of my jobs was to empty the garbage cans in front of the castle several times a day. One afternoon as I dumped the barrel into my cart I heard a little girl ask her mother, “Who is that lady?”  The mother thought for a minute and answered “Why Honey, that must be Cinderella.”

# My flight was delayed in Houston. Since the gate was needed for another flight, our aircraft was backed away from the terminal and we were directed to a new gate. We all found the new gate, only to discover a third gate had been designated for our plane. Finally, everyone got on board the right plane, the flight attendant announced: “We apologize for the delay. This flight is going to Washington, DC if your destination is not Washington, DC you should be deplaning at this time.” A moment later a red-faced pilot emerged from the cockpit, carrying his bag. “Sorry,” he said “wrong plane.”
