Private Aviation Airports
As some of you know, I used to work on Wall Street. The firm I worked for was BIG into the New York Yankees, and one weekend we decided it would be cool to charter a small jet, take 20 guys up to Boston and catch the Yankees versus the Red Sox.

I hate BOTH teams, so I spent the entire day with another broker, running around Boston from pub to pub, drinking as much as we could find.

All well and good until I am watching the game on the telly in one of the bars and realize that its almost over...so we rush outside in my drunken state and flag down a taxi.
We get to the Civilian/Private portion of the airport at Boston's Logan Airport and realize the game was only halfway through when we legged it for the airport.

So each of us takes over our own small sofas and we nod off. Until this great big bastard wakes me up, poking me in the chest with his finger. I wake up and he says "What are you doing here?" and before I could stop myself, I said "What the fuck do YOU care?!" It was as the words were coming out that I noticed he had one of those Secret Service ear buds in his ear.

He said "You mean you didnt see the great big blue and white plane outside?!" Yep: Airforce One was on the tarmac, literally a couple hundred feet from the doorway I was staring at.

It was Bill Clinton...and they were sweeping the area for 'threats'. I then proceeded to take the piss of a good bit of the Presidential staff for being pot smokers.

Bill nodded as I made the international sign of a "blow job" to send him on his way.

I was NOT popular.
