Considering all the brilliant, devious minds we had in high school I don't know how we missed doing this:
At a high school in Montana a group of students played a prank. They let 3 goats loose inside the school. But before turning them loose they painted numbers on the sides of each goats: #1, #2, and #4.
School administration spent most of the day looking for #3.

Gate 14 at the Denver Airport:
An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in Denver for being smart and funny, while making a point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as air cargo:
A crowded United Airlines flight was cancelled. A single agent was trying to re-book a long line of inconvenienced travelers.
Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the front of the line. He slapped his ticket on the counter and yelled, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS."
The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir, I'll be happy to try and help you but I've got to help these folks first. Then I'm sure we'll be able to work something out."
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly,"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"
Without hesitating, the agent smiled and picked up her public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please," she began, her voice being heard clearly throughout the terminal.
"We have a passenger here at Gate 14 who does not know who he is. If anyone can help him find his identity please come to Gate 14.
With the folks behind him in line began to laugh, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth, and said,"F**k you!"
Without flinching, the agent smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, you'll have to get in line for that, too."
DSG, LOL, your "stuff" consoled me and did make me smile right after shedding a few tears at the end of the FEDAL semi's. The H2H outcome wasn't what I had hoped.

I like when someone can come up with a quick response like that. I bet he never wanted to see her again!

I was fling stand-by once and I hadn't been able to get on my flight but I DID get to witness a man rushing up to the gate after the gate had been closed. He was in a dither and couldn't accept the fact that, even though he had a valid ticket, he had arrived too late at the gate. He was as angry as could be but the only thing he could think of to yell at the agent was,"You POO-POO."
It still makes me laugh.
