“No, I do not want Chicken Fried Rice! Is my – No, no! I am not placing an order! I’m trying to connect to my mother!”
You would think that while on the AirPhone with my mother, through a geographic dislocation, I would get disconnected.
Not reconnected to an up-until-moments-earlier-Californian Orient Express.
The phone cut out, requesting my credit card as well. I had to wonder – if my card was connected to a London account, would I now be charging it to some unsuspecting git’s life savings?
Call it a mean streak, but I had to give it a try!

“Stewardess! Your phone is refusing my card! And the service doesn’t connect me to the right number! Well… Jillian McGraw. Well, Miss McGraw, I demand compensation, unless you want the company to hear from me.”
Yeah. Definitely call it a mean streak.
