Good stories while I recover from flying yesterday: Durango, CO back to Houston. I won't write about delays (some epic in AK), or oil company international trips to Columbia during the civil war (security!), or flying DC-3s while a kid (pilot's lap). What I remember was a Tunisian family. Our family was flying Tunis Air from Tunis, Tunisia to Paris for a vacation. Tunis Air is not Lufthansa, or Swiss Air, or even Air France. So, the Tunisian family, well they boarded, with carry on of about a dozen chickens and roosters. Carried in burlap bags and stowed everywhere. No assigned seating so the family placed a bag of chickens where we were about to sit. Big ruckus. Clucking. Tunisians, when confronted by white, Christian westerners default to Arabic for intimidation mode. Punchline: my pissed off wife picked up a bag of chickens and threw it at a Tunis Air flight attendant, sat down with our daughters and basically told all them to go to ****. I just sat. Attendant must have figured we had enough. Flight took off, entire two hours chickens crowing and clucking, chicken crap everywhere. Was glad to get off that flight. Never flew Tunis Air again.
