She’s a keeper!!!!
This happened at a New York Airport.
This airline gate agent deserves an award for how she handled a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
A crowded flight was cancelled.
A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.
Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."
The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first who were in front of you; and then I'm sure we'll be able to work something out."
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"
Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14".
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!"
Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to get in line for that, too."
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain...

One of a kind book review I came across earlier today while sifting through C programming book reviews on Amazon.

My favourite review on amazon is for Eyehategod ( self titled CD ), the review is by Weirdling wolf, if you can find it.
Sometimes when foreign language reviews are translated to English the results are amusing, but one review that sticks in my mind is a glowing review of a blender, however it ends with the ominous words " smoke is coming ".

Once, I asked google to translate a paper about Tesla speakers from Czech to Greek and it returned something about a council of ministers having reservations about figs... Terms like speaker or sound were not mentioned anywhere.
Trivia: In clearing a clogged nose, an orgasm is just as effective as nose spray. Take your pick ;-)

To be honest, for a non-audio person, a Tesla speaker would probably bring up visions of someone giving a keynote address. ;-)

Ah, I see it now. So, google had problem to understand how a speaker at a public event could have flat response!
Yes, it would also be a major problem for a human translator! I mean, who would relate the word 'speaker' to a loudspeaker used in audio?? Maybe 0.1% of the population? ;-)
