    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Since "there's one born every minute", it is understandable why the world is in the shape we find it these days...

    Boundless Arrogance by a superego. He will be late for life from now on because they are bound to imprison him for a few years as well as bar him from any plane.
    He screwed up a lot of lives, including his own, for nothing!!

    Back in the days before all the security circus at the airport, I was late for a flight from SF to go back home to NY after a consulting/teaching gig. When I got to the gate, the plane had already pushed back, but then it came back to the gate and a passenger got off (a lady and babe in arms) who it seems left all her baby stuff at home... They let me on the plane, and I got back to Syracuse on schedule. Wouldn't happen these days, I think. I suppose you could say that Higher Powers called in the delay...

    Nowadays they'd tell the mom to 'tough it out'. You were definitely lucky that time.

    Meanwhile, Delhi's Idiot gets to know his new cellmate 'Bubba'.

    That's thinking out of the box right there. Too bad he landed himself into one.

    You are right!! He could have cancelled his ticket and got the refund (if possible) ,caught next possible flight and continued his journey instead of scaring people and creating inconvinence to fellow passengers
