I used to be a kitchen cabinet salesperson for a large home improvement store (back when they were still called hardware stores) and accidentally drove onto the flight line at Beale AFB in Northern Commiefornia where I was supposed to measuring a break room for cabinets and countertops. Luckily there were no planes taking off or landing .

I think I was probably just where they taxi to get to the runway but STILL!

Security Police intercepted me and thankfully had enough of a sense of humor to direct me to the building I was supposed to be in.

Oddly enough, I didn't get the sale.

But then, I always did suck as a salesman.
