See?  50+ year olds can be cute.

She was 35 or so.

I did see younger girls in Lufthansa livery, but only on the ground when we did our layover in Munich. I distinctly remember a dark-haired goddess at a desk when we disembarked. She gave me directions but I didn't listen to a word. 

Germanwings and Lufthansa Regional often seem to have younger, sexier staff.

Do they show weird porn during flights? If not, I'm out.

[Zanza]

No, they even censor normal sexy scenes. I guess you could watch porn on the in-flight internet.

My in-laws are stuck at ATL for a 10-hour layover before they fly back to Argentina

I was in Vienna for 5 hours. Not long enough to go into the town and then check back in. Definitely too long to spend in Vienna airport

I actually checked and they do have magazines. In French or local Indian ones.

My flight is scheduled at 3am, which must be just about the worst possible time if the day.

In this situation I normally head for the airport bar.

Picking up strange businessmen may or may not be a great idea.

Why would you do that?

To prove how strong he is? Those businessmen must weigh 180 pounds at least.

Not if he's in India.

Maybe he can find an American businessman there.  They are usually about 250 at least.

[Josquius]

Our unemployment rate is still 3-4 points lower than France's.  But I'm shocked to hear of Krugman twisting numbers.

He's not twisting numbers, this is fascinating:


Everyone knows France has a higher unemployment rate anyway, that's boring.

What counts as employed? Surely more than 10% of the population are housewives and the like

As an American businessman.

I thought you said you weren't in sales.

Whenever you go to a bar do you feel compelled to pick up businessmen - either literally in the way Malthus interpreted your comment or in the way Garbon would like to see you do it?

The lounge has free booze, but as I get travel sick easily I usually don't drink before flights... :-(

You need to do something about your drinking problem before you go on your next trip.
