A crowded United flight was cancelled. A single agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travellers. Suddenly an angry man pushed his way to the desk, slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on the flight & it has to be FIRST CLASS."

The agent, a nice little girl replied, "I'm sorry sir, I'll be happy to help you but I've got to help these folks first, then I'm sure, I'll be able to work something out for you".

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 gate agent smiled & grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention please?" she began, her voice bellowing through out the terminal, "We have a passenger here at gate number 3, WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone of you can help him to identify himself, please come to the gate, thank you."

With the folks in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth and shouted, "F**K YOU."

Without flinching, she smiled and said,"I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to stand in line for that too."
