Permit me to relate my experience.  I don't consider myself to have fallen
in love (oh, no, I'm far to sophisticated to do anything so silly as to
fall in love at first sight), but it was interesting.

I was flying from LV to Austin, and had to change planes in Albequerque.
The young lady who worked at the Southwest Airlines counter there was truly
amazing.  "Charming" doesn't begin to come close.  After being stunned, I
sat, waiting for my plane (pray for engine trouble), watching her in
action, and analyzed her behavior and my reaction.

I finally decided that the main thing was that she would be standing there
shuffling papers, with normal (puzzled, bland, etc. etc.) expressions on
her face (NOT a glued-on smile as so many people in these positions have).
Then, when someone would walk up to her, she would look up with an
expression that was so happy and delighted-to-see-you that it blew my socks
off!  I mean, imagine what she would look like if the man she loved had
just finally asked her to marry her.  Right.  And she did this over and
over again.  I almost had a stroke by the time the plane was ready to
board.

It certainly wasn't the case that I was attracted to her physically -- I
could only see her from the shoulders up, and besides, I was busy staring
starry-eyed at her face.  It was those big brown eyes and that I'm-so-happy-
to-see-you-you're-so-wonderful smile.  Wow.

So, guys, if you're ever traveling in the southwest, try VERY hard to
arrange to fly Southwest Airlines (in spite of their terrible service),
with a change in Albequerque.  You just might get as lucky as I did.
And for those of you who actually live there, well log out right now, go
out to that funky little airport of yours, snuggle down into one of those
comfortable old chairs, and start watching!

I sure can see how this particular young lady could cause several dozen
cases of love-at-first-sight a day, even though I wasn't one of thARE YOU
OUT THERE, YOU BEAUTIFUL BROWN-HAIRED ANGEL?  CALL ME!  PLEASE!  I'LL MARRY
YOU TOMORROW!
