When the "No smoking" sign went out, the man next to her, a brash, uncouth sort, took a large cigar from his inside coat pocket, lit up and began filling the area with acrid, nauseating smoke, even though it was the no-smoking section. The woman politely asked him to extinguish the cigar, and was met with a brusque refusal. After enduring the atmosphere for a while longer, she became more insistent, demanding the cigar be removed. She was no more successful this time than the last. Her anger began to mount, and after the third rebuff she stood, plucked the cigar from the man's mouth, opened a window (yeah, opened a window!) and pitched the cigar out. This did not especially sit well with the erstwhile smoker. As soon as the woman retook her seat, he ceremoniously stood, grabbed Fifi, strode to the same window, and pitched out the dog! The woman was shattered; Fifi was her constant companion, friend, and just about everything else you can think of. She screamed, wailed, moaned, cursed the man, and basically made a complete spectacle of herself for the remainder of the trip. Finally the plane landed. Still sobbing, the woman stepped down the ramp, then stopped suddenly. Fifi was on the ramp, running toward her with an object in his mouth. You know what the object is, don't you???????? Of course you do: The brick! -- Ray Simard Loral Instrumentation, San Diego {ucbvax, ittvax!dcdwest}!sdcsvax!sdccsu3!loral!simard
