Once, my wife and I had to take a flight that had 4 other stops before arriving at the Dallas-Forth Worth Airport. At the first stop, a little white truck drove up to the plane and my wife watched it pull up to the wing. She asked, “What’s that truck doing?”
I explained that some airlines don’t completely fuel up a plane for various reasons & we were taking on more fuel. This process was repeated at the next three stops, and my wife watched the plane being fueled each time.
At the last stop, I said, “You know, in spite of all these delays, we’re making pretty good time.”
My wife pointed out the window and said, “I don’t know. That little truck is keeping up with us.”
I was watching an Australian cooking show. The audience cheered when the chef made a meringue. Which was odd… Because I thought Australians boo meringues.
Because I often have to catch a pre-dawn bus to get to my job, I was concerned that I wasn’t always visible to bus drivers in the darkness. So, I attached a reflector to my lunch box and put on a jogger’s vest that was bright orange and had small flashing lights.
The first morning I wore my new gear, the bus zoomed past, but then stopped.
I ran to catch up with it and, as I boarded, asked the driver, “Didn’t you see me?”
“I saw you,” he replied, “but I thought you were a road sign.”
