Spend 2 hours on the plane in Business Class at the gate.

Gotta remember what's important and look at the bright side of life.

I sure am worried about Horace. He once said something critical of Trump, and I’ve seen a lot of stories about people critical of the President not being allowed back into the country.

I agree that it is an act of pure defiant courage to leave the country and hope to be allowed back in, after what I’ve said about the tariffs.

Yes I was in Portugal for liberation day and didn’t dare say anything until I got home. Not so brave am I.

Yes, in a lot of cases Business Class gets sent ahead of the the other classes.

We were in economy in the second leg of the trip, as they reminded us when we tried to use the business class lounge in Frankfurt. I tried the magic words, “but I’m white”, but they still wouldn’t let me in.

Reminds me of the John Cleese joke: so John went to Auschwitz and arrived at the gate slightly after the last entry time and they wouldn't let him in. He said, "But I'm a Jew!" and they opened the gates and let him in.

Ohhh … you are so brave to schlep it with the bourgeoisie.
What an inspiration!

Next time try “My genes are blue”. That should do it.
