I could have written exactly the same words myself.  There are
mornings when I wake up and just want to drive to the international
terminal at the airport. "One ticket to wherever you're going next",
I'd say, and they'd say "We have a Nambian Airways DC9 taking doctors
to Zaire for the new Ebola outbreak" and I'd say "Fine.  One please."
