Why is the story funny
The heavy snow last winter caused long delays at Heathrow Airport. One afternoon, hundreds of unlucky passengers, who had been expecting to board a flight to New York, were told it had been cancelled. One unfortunate agent was dealing with all the passengers, when an angry man, who had been standing in line for some time, pushed his way to the front.
Lost Identity
“I want a first class seat on this flight, now!” demanded the man angrily.
The young agent replied politely, “I’m sorry, sir, but I can’t ignore these people. They were here first. If you could wait your turn, I’ll see what I can do.”
This did not please the man. He screamed at the young agent so that the passengers waiting in line behind him could hear, “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM ”
The agent smiled, stood up and spoke loudly, “Attention, please! We have a passenger here WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to the gate.”
