Upon entering the plane, he said to the flight attendant, "I'd like to be seated next to a lady with large breasts". The flight attendant was NOT amused. When he started to sober up (it was a long flight), he was mortified, and slunk down in his seat for the rest of the flight. Of course, we've never let him forget it.
Oh yeah, that sounds like a good many years ago when smoking was also permitted. In fact, I remember champagne flights to Las Vegas!
