F/A makes standard PA about staying seated until aircraft stops at the gate. Tool disregards and starts rooting in overhead bin, knocking out heavy item which bonks Very Large Passenger on head. VLP stands, grabs culprit, and bounces him up and down while shouting "DIDN'T she TELL you to STAY in your SEAT?!!"
F/As unable to intervene, due to rolling on floor laughing. :p

One night the suffering paid off. We departed an airport in Argentina with a rapidly approaching line of very active storms. It was my leg and we were going to climb parallel to the front until an opening could be found. He directed me to turn into a narrow opening between two very violent storms, I said:"You have the controls Cappy." There was a very loud boom and a likely strike within the next minute.

So how was the tool useful? I got an extra day in Brasil while they fixed the hole in the wing.
Sounds like he wasn't the only tool in this story.

So how many people do you think have read this and realized some of the stories were about them?

You never fail to disappoint. At least you're consistent.

And of those, how many think it's cool we are talking about them?

Have you seen some of the dirty perverts in this industry? Can you be sure your FO didn't go to boys town on your GUA layover last night?

Eight wipes seems low.

Just for you. And Auburn has Tigers. Not War Eagles.

Many moons ago an EGL capt would walk around with Hersey Kisses and ask every female FA or Gate agent if he could give them a 'kiss'. The candy wouldn't be visible, he'd have it in a cup in one hand covered by his hat. They would giggle and accept; but when his back was turned they all thought he was a creep. Also use to collect a single strand of hair from those he could and would loop them around his tie tac. It got so big, it really started creeping people out and the company made him stop!
