Island Of Misfits
- Thread starter WeedHopper
- Start date
A rich young woman sat beside a poor elderly man on a plane. She alerted the flight attendant upon taking her seat.
The flight attendant answered warmly, when the woman abruptly said, “Please find me another seat immediately.” The flight attendant responded, “I’m sorry Ma’am, but the economy cabin is fully booked.”
The rich woman replied, “But I’m not going to travel beside a worthless bum. Do something.”
While the elderly man stared in disbelief, the flight attendant responded, “I’ll talk to the Captain about this.”
Then flight attendant went to the Captain and asked, “Captain, a woman feels uncomfortable to sit beside a poor elder man. What should we do?”
Surprisingly, the Captain’s face changed. He looked amused and said, “This woman is interesting. I’ve never encountered an issue like this before. I have a plan. Listen..”
And the Captain relayed to the flight attendant what he wants to do. The flight attendant was stunned at his plan. In fact, she was amazed.
A few minutes later, the flight attendant returned. “The Captain said we could use an open seat in First Class. He also wants to apologize for having to travel with such a terrible person.”
As the woman rose out of her seat, the flight attendant reached out her arm towards the poor elderly man. “Sir will you please follow me?” To which the plane applauded.
Never look down on other people. We are all equal in God’s sight. Regardless of what you have achieved in life, stay humble. Keep your feet on the ground. The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.

Howdy shipmates. It started out sunny and windy at 36 degrees, but she's climbed her way to 40 and overcast. Got nothing to do but put the plow on the ATV and then I'm trying a new recipe. Food makes the Old Hen happy, and I'm kinda hungry, too.
Glad to hear the paw surgery went good for ya, Pute.

I used to snorkel for them and eat them right on the beach but I've never "dug" them.
Edited
This happened by my house a few hours ago. Very sad. It was an air show they do every year.

Well I used the wrong word , to dig means to harvest to a bayman. I would say dig a bag of oysters meant one would walk the shoreline at low tide and break the oysters from the cluster they grow in. They grow in a reef of them all connected and a pain to break up.
I have harvested scallop with mask any snorkel gear
Now Grant it this was on Long Island I imagine some osters may grow differently elsewhere
Poor bastards never had a chance
