How to Act in First Class

From the Couch Trip, with Dan Aykroyd.

 

He has just escaped from a mental hospital, is impersonating a psychiatrist, boarding a flight to LA in first class in barely disguised prison clothes.

 

When the flight attendant asks him if he will have anything before the flight, he does not stammer out some feeble drink order, like I do:

 

“A Bag of Macademia Nuts!

“All your available cheeses!

“A dozen Raspberries with Crème Fraiche!

“And a Double Shot of BlackBush!”

 

A little non-plussed, but totally dominated by his suave insistence, the attendant thoughtfully asks, “would you like the shot on the Raspberries?”

 

“NO!” he states firmly, yet unruffledly, on the side, straight-up!”

 

We memorized it for our next trip, but got demoted to coach by some cost-cutting dragoon.
