More champagne

As you may have understood by now, we have been drinking nothing but Cava (sort fake Champagne, with alcohol nevertheless but champagne is a protected name and can not be used for something like this) during the whole holiday.

Now my friend D. has had a huge secret that some knew and some didn't and that we used to the max these days.
* drum rolls*

Her birthday is November 9 but according to her passport it's November 10.

She only found this out when she was 18 and needed a birth certificate for her graduating.
She went into the city hall and when the clerk asked her what her date of birth was, nothing came up.
Come on try again, that's not possible.
No sorry ma'am, nothing in my system.
Huh????
Try the next day.
And yes, there she was.

And guess what day we were flying back home?
Right.
November 10.

So when the stewardess happened to be giving the safety instructions right in front of A. and we saw D. was more interested in her book than the entertainment next to her, we informed the stewardess who promised to do her best for something special.

2 minutes later Arno Jansen, the purser announced
Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the KLM spacecrew (or something like that, they have the strangest names nowadays), I would like to welcome someone very special on board who is celebrating her birthday today. Let's hear it ; hiep hiep hiep hoera !
Before D. knew what hit her, Arno who considered himself as God's gift to women, came over to kiss her and congratulate her in person.
And never went away anymore.
He just kept on babbling and tossing his hair back.

Anyway.
After that a stewardess came over with 4 bottles of champagne.
Man, this was one of the best flights ever.

When the meals were being served, Arno came back asking us how we liked everything and when we said everything was splendid, he sort of bravely said; but I have had 2 ppl complaining about it.
What?
You are the purser, how can someone of your crew complain?
No not the crew,
one of the other ppl in the plane
And he was not going to say who it was.

After careful deliberation this is what we think happened.

Hey purser, can I have a beer please.
Sorry sir, this is economy class, we are not allowed to serve alcohol in here.
What, and you just gave these girls a bottle of champagne each!
That's right sir, but that's because they have a special occasion to celebrate.
Well, I can make one up too.
Sorry sir, we can't serve you.
You bleep, bleep, bleep.

So of course we only did what any sane person would do;
we even spoke louder than we did already and congratulated each other on this fantastic purser who had the decency to recognize a fantastic opportunity to make at least 4 clients lifetime KLM flyers and what a terrific champagne they served on board and that we couldn't imagine anyone else would be denying us this pleasure unless they were complete and utter losers.
Olé!
