I can be chatty in airport gate areas if I’m bored — even more so if my plane is delayed by weather.
Last night at DFW I ended up commiserating with a fellow passenger as we waited for our flight. He was from Brooklyn, and sold..
Helicopters
He had gone to Dallas to deliver one to a corporate client and was headed home.
I found his job to be very entertaining. I don’t know exactly why.
I’m sure selling helicopters is not that different from selling cars or trucks or farm machinery. But it is just such a niche….and absolutely the last thing I expected him to say in the long list of possible occupations.
And I kept thinking, “Man, where was this guy when I was doing improv comedy back in Kansas City?“
‘Helicopter salesman’ would have been such a great suggestion.
Stone cold fox
Ever found it difficult to get excited about classic sculpture?
Just couldn’t relate??
Well, hold on to your fig leaf — Today I Learned Something New, a UK-based website, has brought together the past and present in their feature…
‘Classical sculptures dressed like hipsters’
Gone is the overwhelming expanse of chalk-white skin, the blank stare, the disproportionately small family jewels. These male models’ newly casual look and ‘tude would do any catalog or magazine ad proud.
And if they’re quiet on a date…well, that’s really to be expected.
