name dropper

another question i get asked quite frequently is what famous people i have had on my flights... i can never give any exciting answers. i work for a low cost vacation airline, ain't no celebrities here.
on very rare and seldom occasions i have had run ins with people you might have actually heard of. let's begin...

1. while waiting in the crew line if customs in the newark airport, i noticed mr. busta rhymes aprroaching(nana, that's a famous rapper)  i was too nervous to say hello because i couldn't decide just how to address him: 'good day mr. rhymes!' 'what up busta bus?!?' alas i missed my chance and live to regret it.

2. because the singer pink grew up in a town close to me, i really enjoyed the behind the music show on her life growing up. i unfortunately became very familiar with what her family looked like from watching it so often. so when pink's mother was onboard, i made sure to tell her i hale from bucks county and am a big fan of her daughters (a slight  absolute exaggeration)

3. i've had two different cast mates from the real world. their names aren't even worth trying to remember. since i'm usually the youngest crewmember on board, so none of my friends even knew what the real world is.

4. about a month ago in cancun while waiting for the hotel van i walked past cheech. again with my keen celebrity eye, i happened to be the only one to notice him pushing his luggage cart and his much much younger girlfriend.

5. our company used to use the owners private jet to shuttle us around to different places when it was too expensive to buy us plane tickets. private jets have their own magical private airports as well. once while waitingin such airport, i saw miss patty labelle. she was adorable in a peach suit, and it made me love her (even though i know none of her songs)

6. about five years ago i was on a short vaca to cancun over spring break. while coming off the beach i saw another two forgettable real world girls. maybe if i had grouped them all in one category, they could  make up one legitimate celebrity?

7. the movie invincible is about a bartender from philly who tries out for the eagles and makes it as their quarterback. i had vince, the man the movie was based on and his family onboard about a year after the movie came out. he was a genuinely nice guy.

sooo you can see why i dread that question, my list is pretty pathetic. i'm sorry i can't fake this to be more interesting!
