Yesterday afternoon I told my friend
"Dee" (not her real name) that I was
going to San Francisco. Anyway, this
is a gist of our conversation:
|
Dee: |
Wow, that's great! I wish I
could come along... |
|
Me: |
Yeah. That would be nice. |
|
Dee: |
Can I ask for a favor? |
|
Me: |
What is it? |
|
Dee: |
Would it be too much trouble
for you to take something
along for my sister in Cali. |
|
Me: |
Sure... but what is it? |
|
Dee: |
GREAT! ...come, I'll show
you! |
...and this is what she had in mind.
She was serious.
|
Me: |
But why can't she buy a sofa
there? |
|
Dee: |
She can... but this is,
LIKE, really comfty!!!
Quick, SIT... comfty, isn't
it?! |
|
Me: |
No kidding. |
|
Dee: |
I know it's a bit over the
limit, but I'll pay for the
excess. |
|
Me: |
Err... That won't be
necessary. |
The really silly thing is that this
is not the first time. There are a
lot of people out there who have
serious misconceptions about air
travel. From furniture to live
animals... it's just amazing what
they come up with!
