Paddy’s Plane Misunderstanding

The Airport Adventure

The trouble started before he even saw the plane.

At security, a stern-looking officer asked, “Do you have any liquids?”

Paddy proudly lifted a plastic bag filled with homemade soup. “Just a bit of vegetable for the journey.”

The soup didn’t make it through.

Then came the boarding announcement.

“Passengers in Group C may now board.”

Paddy panicked. He didn’t know what group he was in. He scanned his ticket, found no mention of any letter, and decided not to risk it. He remained seated. Thirty minutes later, the gate was empty.

“Are you not boarding, sir?” the attendant asked.

“I’m waiting for them to call Paddy,” he replied.
