why i heart traveling, by jaws

the following is an excerpt from an email i sent to my beloved husband last night as i was on a flight from dallas to chicago.

"Okay, so we're still on the tarmac in dallas.. they announced one hour ago that the plane was broken and needed repaired. i couldn't take it any more. i calmly pressed my flight attendant button, and when she got here i asked, "it's been one hour. i believe we are entitled to an update." she advised what they knew at that point, which really didn't indicate when we would be set free, but said she would check with the captain. two seconds later, we had an update! i am convinced that they will not update you until one of the passengers demands it! i am happy to provide that service for my fellow passengers...i also advised the FA that if it was much longer i would require a beverage, or I might get fussy. i love to travel!"

ps. we were given up to two free alcoholic beverages once the plane took off. i guess she was afraid of experiencing fussy jaws.
