Sir, You Can’t Take That On
Posted in Once I Was a Kansas Girl and tagged with Hat, Kansas, Travel on December 3, 2008Things are so crazy right now that I don’t quite have time for a regular post. But I did want to share with you something funny that I saw in the Wichita airport as I was leaving.
Some dude had a big box, and I didn’t know what it was. The gate agent went up to him and told him that his hat box wouldn’t fit with him on the plane.
It was a box for his cowboy hat that he was carrying with him on the plane (his hat was on his head). I know I’m from Kansas, but I’m not used to seeing people with cowboy hats. I lived in a fairly urban area, and didn’t really see people who regularly wore cowboy hats until I moved to Oklahoma.
Does anybody know why a cowboy hat box is so big? It looked like it was big enough to almost fit two hats inside.
What was the strangest site you’ve seen at the airport? (that really wasn’t mine, though)

The strangest thing at an airport? I don’t know, really. I am just always amazed by the amount of luggage families of different ethnic origins can have.

I had no idea cowboy hats came with boxes. I suppose it makes sense.
The strangest thing I’ve seen at the airport? I have to agree with gingela5 — people rank right up there! :)

I saw Bill Nye the Science Guy, in his question mark suit, in the Baltimore airport a few years ago. I also saw a 100 year old lady, in a wheelchair, get arrested (NO LIE!) coming off a flight because she was smoking.

I think the weirdest thing I saw was Sherman Helmsley (The Jeffersons) at the El Paso airport.
