    thanks, it was a true story.
    Also since I work for a steel company, I had the scouts all look up inside O'Harw where they left the steel beams exposed, "Steel as Art" style of architecture I guess. Anyway we were walking along gawking up, and pretty soon everyone else was too, and of course guessing at what they were looking for "some birds got in" "some kid lost a balloon" "there are leaks in the skylights " etc. Human nature is a hoot!

What a cute story. Sometimes, those airline Stewardess' can be rude. I'm glad she saw her mistake and appoligized. Nicely written.

A nice and amusing tale of misunderstanding at its height. Stories of misdirection and confusion can be very interesting. Could be a bit more descriptive. But very nice.

Till the last amen

    Thanks, I like it when people point out ways to make a story better. Where do you see weak areas you'd like to have more description?

This is a cute and cool story -- a group of boy scouts boarding a plane to a national jamboree held in Virginia. The stewardess was peeved at the behavior of the boycouts.
The scouts kept pushing the stewardess button almost all at the same time seemingly to order some drinks from the stewardess. The stewardess tried to call/look for the scout leader to ask help control/complain. However, the writer says that as the plane flew off the tarmac, he saw an advertisement saying, "Ask your flight a Dr. Pepper NOW. That made the difference.

LOL. This short piece made good reading. I think you are the first writer to shorten the word steward or stewardess to stew. Congratulations for this invention or innovation.
Since I was enjoying reading the piece I didn't bother about the spags.
