What is fun being an IT guy, is that apparently I do not look like I
belong in business class. So on that tedious flight to japan, I had to
go on a walk to stretch my legs. So 2-3 times I walk the length of the
plane.
I went to the back, then went to the front, and the flight attendant
stopped me, and said I had to go back to economy class and that this was
for business only.

I've never fit the profile. I think it was '69 when my wife and I were
flying out of Memphis. I had a beard, ponytail, and leather jacket and she
sort of looked like a hippy chick. The stewardess came back to us barely
able to suppress her giggles. "The lady up there thinks you're going to
hijack the plane to Cuba. You aren't going to, are you?"

Many years later the beard and ponytail are sort of gray and I have a
different leather jacket but not much else has changed.

That's my problem with the new sardine cans. I can barely walk when it's
time to deplane and that's on a two or three hour domestic flight.
