more airport

last one was san diyucko (just kidding, i love that place, that just sounds funny) now i'm in ORD awaiting a delayed flight to MKE. i decided to get a mcflurry because i don't feel fat enough and as i was waiting i watched a man tempt fate to a degree i had heretofore never witnessed. he asked the young, female, african-american, chicagoan cashier for five dollars of his change in quarters. "in quarters?" was her reply, coupled with a look that would split the atom if he hadn't absorbed the full force.

needless to say, everyone in line after him approached her with the proper etiquette and all humility.

on my way back to find a seat, a fat business guy in his casual j. crew travel ensemble, wiping his brow with a camouflage handkerchief passed me by, muttering "six o-f@#kin-clock..."

at least i get to keep the miles.
