Friendly Skies


So I was reading a story this morning about the Pope getting ready to fly to D.C. this morning which got me thinking... what if the Pope was flying on U.S. Air?

Pope: What do you mean my flight is delayed 12 hours? I need to get to Washington!
U.S. Air Att.: Well, I am sorry sir but there are several people here all trying to get somewhere, please take a seat and we'll call you.
Pope: But I'm the Pope?
USA A: Well I can't help you there... please take a seat sir.
Pope: But I am going to see President Bush... please (looking at name tag) Janyse, isn't there anything you can do?
USA A: Well, I can get you to Newark tomorrow?
Pope: (look of consternation) Newark? Tomorrow?!
USA A: Maybe I can connect you in 2 hours through Dallas, with a stop in Chicago, and then on to Washington...
Pope: That's the best you can do?
USA A: Well, yeah, unless the weather is still bad in Chicago... then you might have to spend the night in Cleveland?
Pope: WHAT?!?!?
USA A: Wait, here is a direct to Portland and then on to Seattle... there you go!
Pope: Seattle? I am going to Washington D.C.?
USA A: Ohhhhhh... D.C., you should have said that...
Pope: I did say...
USA A: Don't get snippy with me sir! I am just trying to help! Now I can get you to New Brunswick on Friday, Business Class, will that work?
Pope: Can I fly through any other airline?
USA A: Maybe, you will have to go to terminal D for that kind of information though.
Pope: What terminal are we in now?!
USA A: A... you will need to pass through security and take a shuttle.
Pope: I am going to ex-communicate you! No, no, I am sorry, I should not have lost my temper. It's not your fault, I forgive you.
USA A: You better check your tone sir, I'll have security escort you right out of here!
Pope: (shaking head) Uh... thank you.

G.W.: (knocking down a couple whiskey sodas @ the airport bar) Now where the heck is that Pope... I knew I should have sent Dick Cheney for this... I'm missing Guiding Light!!!

***thank you, thank you. You will be able to see my next show straight from Hell!!!!!!
