Brilliant!

If you haven't seen the pillow fight on the Lufthansa flight on the Internet, it's worth seeing if only to show how some airlines and flight attendants actually have a sense of humor.  I don't know about you but flying just isn't as fun as it used to be....and I'm not talking about the wanding, the body scans, the $50 bags of gross snacks, or the general sense of fear we all have after 9/11.  It's just the general attitude of people these days--on both sides of the issue-- that's gone south.  Having worked in a "service" profession my entire life, let me say you get back what you put out there.  And even when people are awful, if you continue to be kind, often times they will come around.  And if not, that's their deal.

But on an airliner at 35,000 feet, whadaya gonna do?  I don't know what the circumstances were that precipitated this pillow fight but whatever it was, it worked.  And the fact that the flight attendant looked like one of my old bosses made it even funnier.  The fact is, it made LOTS of people laugh, and isn't that what life is really all about?  No one got hurt.  No one pulled the shoot.  And lots of weary travelers had fun, if only for a few seconds.  And the cheering and clapping at the end said it all.  We're all just people--some with better manners than others--but we're all just people.
