DFW Airport, Gate C28. A Boston flight is just leaving from the gate and my Burbank flight will leave from here next. The marquee behind the desk changes from "Boston" to "Burbank." Several Burbank passengers are lined up to speak to the gate agent.
Another gate agent emerges from the jetway and comes to the desk. "Is anyone here going to Boston?"
We all look at each other. No, we're all Burbank passengers.
"Boston? Anyone for Boston?" she asked again.
So I sang:
"She said, 'Please come to Boston.' We said 'No.'"
Nobody got it. But, hey, it killed me. And Beth got it, because she's been married to me for too long.

Perhaps it was the shock of hearing such a song come from a golden-throated biker dude, dude. They were nonplussed.
Yes, their plusses were definitely nonned.

I sat in an airport recently and a DIA agent came rushing through the gate with a sniffing dog. The dog was smelling everyone's luggage. I looked at her and said "Oh, are you doing this because this is flight 420?"
It really was flight 420. No one laughed at that one either, especially not the DIA agent.

Posted by: Chuck at August 2, 2004 09:40 AMI totally would have gotten it, Chuck, and I would have laughed. My pluses would have been utterly non-nonned.
Then again, I'm knock-knock-knockin' on 40's door...

But happened at DIA, Denver Internation Airport.
If the agent had died laughing, he would have been a DEA DOA at the DIA.
