No problem. My wife ALWAYS finds the place to put all that stuff. I
just have to hide all of it before she puts it there :-))



Aaargh!

We have a shelf at work for guys to bring back crap form tourist
traps. It's full of eiffel towers, burros, I (HEART) this place or
that..

I used to be good friends with the Chief Stew (gorgeous girl BTW)from
the old Capitol Airways (DC8 charter operation out of Smyrna Ga. She
would bring back from every trip a virtual ton of those little bottles
of booze unless they were headed for Shannon. The Irish always drank
the plane dry :-)). I probably had one of the world's largest
collections of the little guys. It's amazing what you pick up at
different places when you're full time in aviation :-)



I've been on Capital as a passenger years ago. some of those girls were
rough!

The ones I met allhad brooklyn accents and attitudes to match.

They ran them through a training program at New Castle Delaware. Most of
them that I met were young and naive but eager to play stew and make the
bucks.
The gal I'm talking about was a bit older, gorgeous, and savvy as hell.
She had a mouth like an iron worker and took no prisoners up front. A
lot of the gang couldn't stand her but I liked her. We always got along.
