Because I am extremely important, I flew first class.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Before I boarded the plane I gulped down some airport food and beverages to avoid what I thought would be a typical dire airplane meal situation.  After all, in coach we peons are forced to buy &#8220;snack packs&#8221; which guarantee at least three days of constipation.  It turns out that first class is a pregnant lady&#8217;s dream come true.  The flight attendants are warm and attentive.  The food and beverages flow like wine at a Bacchanal Festival.  And best of all- the bathroom is no further than 12 feet from your chair, and never has a line.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>When I first sat down I was timid and unsure of myself.  I meekly asked for a class of water, and when offered breakfast I stared at the flight attendant blankly.  She listed a few things I could order, so I politely asked for a bagel and strawberries.  But once my meal came, I turned into someone else.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nJust a bagel?  No, please also bring me the yogurt and cereal and a glass of orange juice and ANOTHER glass of orange juice and now I&#8217;m talking like I&#8217;m drunk of orange juice!  Now please hold my tray up so I can blob out of my seat and go to the bathroom for the 10th time!  Mwahahaha hot towel?  Yes! More water! Yes!  I felt like King Henry the 8th minus the leg sores and regicide.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe trip home was just as delightful.  I don&#8217;t see how I can even go back to sitting in coach.  This must be how they get you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because I am extremely grown-up, I went on a business trip to New York City.
