Mr Franklin for Frankfurt

På flyplassen i Dublin roper de (i motsetning til de fleste norske flyplasser) opp avgangene sånn at alle kan høre det. Da mener jeg ALLE også. Ikke bare de 500 som er i nærheten av gaten men hele flyplassen.

Forresten, glemte jeg å si at jeg var i Dublin i helga? Jeg gjorde visst det, sånn er det å vera globe-trottar, man gløymar heilt hjemstaden.

Tenk deg da, at du heter Franklin, og er booket på LH234 til Frankfurt som skal gå kl. 18:00.

17:40: "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Lufthansa flight LH234 to Frankfurt. This flight is now ready for boarding through gate C42. Would all the passengers who will take the longest to board the plane please approach first as we really enjoy pissing off our business class passengers".

17:50: "This is the last and final (final my ass) call for flight LH234, the gate is now closing. We've successfully annoyed the shit out of our business class passengers by letting a single mother with seven sick and vomiting children take 10 minutes to make it past row 2, but everyone is settled now and we're now about to leave"

18:00 "Could the 8 remaining passengers that didn't have their ears open enough to hear the final call for flight LH234 get their wee bums out of the bar and meander slowly down to the gate. We're waiting for you."

18:05: (Desparate) "Now really, this is beyond a joke. Could the last 2 passengers that managed check in, get through security, and get lost in a space not larger than a supermarket PLEASE make it to the gate NOW! We really mean it this time, we're closing the door, and you'll get a smacked bottom when you do make it to the gate."

18:07: "Could mr Franklin, that's mr Fuckwit O'Franklin, the Guinnesloving turdbrain who STILL hasn't made it to the gate for flight LH234 to Frankfurt despite having now been given umpteen warnings please get his bum down to the gate RIGHT NOW, or we'll have to unload your bags, and you won't be allowed to fly, and wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

18:08: "Right, that's it. Mr Franklin, your bags will be unloaded in 30 seconds, and counting. Please, for the sake of all the other passengers, show some mercy"

Jeg fant aldri ut hvordan det gikk med Mr Franklin, men jeg håper at etter å ha tvunget meg til å høre på alt det, at han virkelig led på flyet, eller ikke.
