As everyone gathered more tightly than necessary at the gate to board the plane, an agent made the announcement in Spanish to pre-board those with small children and pregnant women. If I was traveling with a woman I would have yelled, “I am trying to get her pregnant, is that the same?” And, after a pause, “Can we have the back row?”
I guess that is why I am not traveling with a woman.
My measure of a civilized society is when a plane lands and it is taxiing, how many people stand up before their plane is near the gate. Colombia didn’t fare well in this instance. This always amazes me, the rush to the front of the plane. It’s as if the door might open early and they can jump down and scurry across the tarmac.
