I even had my hand on the handle, but the female attendant was too strong (don’t laugh), and forcibly closed the huge metal door in front of me. Needless to say, I was livid.The story could end here, too. I could have gotten a ticket for another flight, gotten home, and written letters to the unnamed airline. Nope.

...manages to declare himself available for compensatory pandering, without pretending that he doesn't get the joke. But generally, the first thing that happens when someone commits a boner like this is that everybody else - political rivals, journalists, news junkies, even his or her own staff - has a good laugh.
