Default Best ALPA Pin Explanation Ever

So I lost my ALPA pin day 1 of 4. Fell off somewhere during a tie/pin debacle whilst loosening for the walkaround during IAH 95 degree heat. Since I've been asked twice already where my ALPA pin is I have started replying, "I left it on my pajamas." Feel free to use.

How about, "I left it at your Mom's house."

Heard this one when I was a new-hire.

Phone rings, and an airline pilot on short-call picks it up, not noticing it is the crew desk.

"Capt Smith?"

"Uh, just a minute."

(partially covering the mouthpiece, and turning the other way): "Honey, it's for your husband!!"

Back when the hat thing was hot heavy and contentious. My F/O and I are walking through the terminal at ORD. A flight manger asks where are your hats? My F/O doesn't miss a beat.. "I left mine on your wife's bedside table."
