In 1991 my wife & I were on a Continental flight where the male flight attendant was on the mike cutting up like Jay Leno. Really funny stuff, then an elderly lady asked him about all the time he had to spend away from his spouse.
“Ma’am, I’m not married.” So she pointed to the gold band on his left hand.
“Oh, that’s my “fag deflector”! There are a lot of fags in the airline industry; I’m single so I have to wear that. My girlfriend wants me to wear it for real!”
LOL! Good thing he said that back in 1991 while we still had a first amendment. Today, he would probably be dismissed from his job and charged with a hate crime for using the f— word.
