Tai Chi Whiz


ATL - PDX Delta

Got a comp first class upgrade to Portland...makes all the difference in the world. Long flight from Atlanta, all oriental flight attendants (this flight stops in Portland and then goes on to Japan).


About an hour into the flight, an older guy stands up in the middle of the first class aisle and starts doing tai chi movement exercises. It's intrusive as all hell, but everyone pretends not to notice. Another guy stands up and opens an overhead bin, to get his laptop out...

....and Mr. Tai Chi whirls and cracks his temple on the raised overhead bin door. *Lights Out!* He crumples into the aisle, a huge knot forming on his forehead...


.....and everyone pretends not to notice.
