- Subject: ***** ARE YOU GAY ***** ??????
-
- I heard this one recently from a "friend". It could have happened so it
- must be true. My "friend" claims to have seen it in the local Lesbian/Gay
- newsletter.
-
- ARE YOU GAY?
-
- An employee for USAir, who happened to have the last name of GAY, got on a
- plane recently using one of his company's "Free Flight" programs. However,
- when Mr. Gay tried to take his seat, he found it being occupied by a paying
- passenger. So, not to make a fuss, he simply chose another seat.
-
- Unknown to Mr. Gay, another USAir flight at the airport experienced
- mechanical problems. The passengers of this other flight were being
- rerouted to various airplanes. A few were put on Mr. Gay's flight and anyone
- who was holding a "free" ticket was being "bumped".
-
- Airline officials, armed with a list of these "freebee" ticket holders
- boarded the plane to remove the free ticket holders. Of course, our Mr. Gay
- was not sitting in his assigned seat as you may remember.
-
- So when the Ticket Agent approached the seat where Mr. Gay was supposed to
- be sitting, she asked a startled customer "Are you Gay?". The man, shyly
- nodded that he was, at which point she demanded: "Then you have to get off
- the plane".
-
- Our Mr. Gay, overhearing what the Ticket Agent had said, tried to clear up
- the situation: "You've got the wrong man. I'm Gay!". This caused an angry
- third passenger to yell "Hell, I'm gay too! They can't kick us all off!"
- Confusion reined as more an more passengers began yelling that USAir had
- no right to remove gays from their flights.
-
- As far as I know, they are still on the tarmac fighting it out. ;-)
