Recently, I called to make reservations on a small charter plane that departs from Teterboro airport in New Jersey.

I knew I would be flying in a very small plane, so I was not surprised when the clerk said, "The plane is very full with baggage and passengers." Then she asked, "How much do you weigh, sir"?

Not thinking clearly, I answered, "With or without clothes"?

"Well," said the clerk, "how do you intend to travel"?
