But here's the thing. Think for a minute what a group of frequent flyer junkies actually look like. Go on, I dare you. Try hard. Imagine you got mugged by a group of them and you had to describe their appearance to the police.
Well for one, if you did get mugged by a serious FT'er at least you'd know that they would leave the cards which were useless in terms of mileage bonuses. You'd probably get little post it notes left in your wallet, with the cash still there and the note saying "you loser, do you know how many miles you are not earning with this piece of cough plastic?"
Or something like that.
So back to the description of the group. The police officer says..
"How many were there?"
"About 30…"
"Really, 30?" says the man with the gun
"Yes" you say
"And how many males?"
"About 29"
"And what did they look like? Fat, skinny, tall, short?"
"Yes to all" you respond
"What do you mean, "yes to all?""
"Exactly what I said. Some were Fat. Skinny. Tall. And Short"
"And what else?"
"Ugly…"
"Ugly?" quizzes the cop
"Yes, man, they were the sorriest group of ugly buggers I have ever seen"
"In fact, I don't want to even file a report. I want to make a donation to their cult"
Or something like that.
And let's face it - since we're all friends, we may as well be honest with each other. Standing side by side and all in a group, we're not the prettiest things to look at. In fact, some of us have faces only our mothers could love. I said "could love". Not "do love".
And don't get me started on our physical condition. ...
Oh well I went running this afternoon anyway - probably better for me lol. Look forward to your TR tho.
