Excuses can be a wonderful thing.
Well, as long as you re the one making the excuses and not one of those having to listen to them while trapped inside a hot airplane that s been sitting on a runway for 2 hours. Unfortunately in Denver the other day I was one of the excusees rather than the excusers. We tried to be patient after all, it s bad form to be arrested for air rage before you even leave the ground listening to one excuse after the other being offered by this unnamed airline. I have to say, they were some of the most creative excuses since the producers of the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie pleaded not to have to return their salaries to the movie studio. First we had to wait while the pilot and co-pilot arrived on a flight from Washington, D.C. where they d been delayed by bad weather.
