Loudspeaker announcement (San Antonio, Texas)
Attention in the terminal!
Would the passenger who left a bucket of stones
with a candle stuck in them
please
return to the security
checkpoint?
My shock—sitting at A3—I am the only one laughing.
Businessmen aren’t laughing.
They didn’t even hear it.
Repeat announcement . . .
Everyone looks bored. They are checking their phones.
They are telling people where they are.
