Ah, plane conversations
These really happened, slightly paraphrased for memory problems.Weird plane convo #1: 2003
Me: "So, what're you going to LA for?"
Intense-looking kid: "I can't talk about it. But if you read the papers tomorrow, you'll find out."
Me: Great, a terrorist.
Weird plane convo #2: 2004
Me: "Hi, how are you?"
Old white guy: "I'm good, but how about those Muslims taking over the world?"
Me: "I didn't realize they were taking over."
Old white guy: "Yeah, they're everywhere, behind the scenes, you just can't see them. They need to be stopped!"
Me: "Maybe if they're so efficiently taking over the world, they deserve to. Maybe they'll run it better."
Old white guy: "... (silence) ... You have a point."
Thankfully he shut up about it for the rest of the trip.
Weird plane convo #3: yesterday
Me: "Hey, whatcha studying?"
Guy: "Studying for my medical license exam. I had to fly up this morning for a wedding and fly back out the same night so I could study."
Me: "Hey, me too!!"
Guy: "So what college did you go to?"
Me: "Berkeley"
Guy: "Me too! When'd you graduate?"
Me: "I'm not telling, you must be younger than me."
Guy: "I graduated in 2002."
Me: "Wow, me too! What was your major?"
Guy: "ISF"
Me: "Wow, me too! Man, that's crazy."
Guy: "So where do you live in SD?"
Me: "Hillcrest"
Guy: "Hey, I'm moving there next week! We should hang out!"
Me: "I think the universe might implode."

Picking up guys on the plane...damn will you ever quit? Though, if he is moving to the 'crest he may not be interested in your gender.
haha that crossed my mind but he made very sure to tell me he was straight
