Observed at the Airport

A 7-year-old boy in a suit having his shoes shined, sitting earnestly with a wad of $1 bills in his fist, anxious to tip.

A sales person wandering in the boarding area using little stuffed airplanes to tempt passengers to sign up for the United Airlines credit card. Who knew stuffed airplanes could be so cute??

A man at the rental car counter: having left his driver's license at home, he was trying to convince the agent that his passport was good enough. Dude... come on...

A baggage handler who had just finished unloading the suitcases from the plane's hold onto the conveyer belt leading down to the truck. Rather than hopping down from the plane, he rode down the conveyer himself on his stomach, head first, like he was diving. Fun!
