When you are stuck in the airport for twenty-four hours you hear a lot of announcements. Here are my favorites from the past day with my thoughts:
“The Travel and Security Administration would like to announce that someone left a pair of socks at the security checkpoint. If you are missing your socks, please return to the checkpoint and claim them.”
Who takes off their socks?? They only require removal of shoes.
Around 4 a.m. today I was reluctantly pulled from my sleep to hear:
“The Travel and Security Administration has a watch that has been left behind at the security checkpoint. It appears to be a ladies’ watch. If you check your wrist and your watch is missing we are holding your time.”
So nice of them to considerately hold time for the forgetful passenger.
The most tempting:
“The Travel and Security Administration has a box of donuts that someone left behind at the security checkpoint. If you can correctly identify the kind of donuts, we will return them to you.”
I wonder what my chances are of correctly identifying the contents, I’m hungry.
