This is how we roll

We took a quick trip out to Los Angeles to see my sister this weekend. The connecting flight from Pheonix to DC was overbooked. Surprisingly instead of getting bumped off, we got bumped up into 1st class. We're usually the shmucks developing deep vein thromboses in the economy class. We were like fish out of water in 1st class. "The wine's free? In that case, just leave the bottle..." We did our best to pretend to be hot s**t as people filed past us to get to their seats in the back. Once the stewardess snapped the curtain shut to keep out the riff raff, our hedonistic journey home began. Roomy bucket seats, real wineglasses, dinner on china, attentive stewardesses... I can get used to this.
