A vignette:
Young Republican in his important suit, in line behind me as we get on a plane this morning, watches me swing my bag into the overhead in the front compartment of the plane, says, "Are you in First?"
Me, unshaven, rumpled, looking thoroughly disreputable, without even looking at him, replies, "Yes, I am." Half a beat. "Are you?"
He wasn't.
Funny :-)
