These are some true, but funny, statistics that came from the
reservations department of our local Colorado airline.  These
statistics are as follows:

50% of the callers have a pen that will not write and will have to search
        the house or office for a pen that writes.
40% of the callers have call waiting and will receive another call while they
        are on the line making their reservations.
30% of the callers do not know where they are going or have not given any
        thought to when or how they will make the return portion of the trip.
10% of the callers don't care where they are going or if they ever return.
 2% of the callers have a doctor's statement that requires them to be on a
        diet of fresh seafood only.

Working in reservations for an airline must be a unique experience.
