Airport Stories
Back when I was a moody teenager I took a cheap flight that involved changing planes and having to go through security again. My bags were pre-checked so, when I set off the metal detector, I honestly said to the security guy that I had no idea what had set it off.
Until, that is, he searched me and found the metal knife and fork stamped "KLM" I'd nicked off the previous flight.

time zone stupidity
My girlfriend is beautiful, caring, witty, intelligent, smashing bottom etc. but sometimes, real shtoopid.
I never tire of reminding her of this one:
We were flying to Switzerland the night England were playing Switzerland in the Euro 2004. I managed to watch most of the first half in the departure lounge, but eventually they called us by name to get our arses to the departure gate.
I was pissed off because it was a pretty good match, so my girlfriend comes out with the classic "don't worry, you can watch it at the other end- they're an hour ahead so they'll still be playing when we land"
Just one more to add to the list of "Dana-isms" - where logic and speech are sundered.
Got time for another (off-subject) Dana-ism?
Good. When driving through Calais earlier this year she commented on how flat the landscape was. I said "that's because the Germans bombed the shite out of it in WWII. She nodded sagely and said "oh of course".
Actually, how about a QOTW - dumb things your partner has said?
