In the eighties I had to make frequent flights between Lagos and Ibadan.  The usual catering facility was a sandwich and a banana.
However, one morning after settling on the F28 the napery and china were set out and an English breakfast was served. After eating what was a welcome treat, I called the stewardess and said, "Please do not think that I am complaining, but what happened to the banana and sandwich?"
She gave me a BIG grin and said, "Dat is on de London flight".

While I was consulting to a big multi-national high tech company we went for 2 weeks holiday, one to Berwick upon Tweed and the 2nd to Weyms Bay, in Scotland. I was in the canteen talking to a friend and slagging the Geordies in Berwick off, for the way they stood in your way, walked in your way or barged you out of their way.
I suddenly became aware that she was looking intently over my shoulder. Who should be standing there, but the guy who was effectively my boss... AND a Geordie! Luckily he saw the lighter side.

While consulting with the same big multi-national high tech company, I was giving a training session to top sales and marketing reps from all the European divisional HQ's. At the end, I said "Does anyone have any questions?" The sales manageress said "Yes... Gary why are your flies undone?"
My zip had bust and I hadn't noticed... but 40 company managers sure had!! <ground please swallow me up>

I had a Rainbow Lorikeet fly in through the open back window of my Series III stage one Landrover whilst driving along. What a commotion! I pulled over, chased this bird all over the back of the Landrover, finally caught it, then it latched onto my finger with it's beak, drawing blood. You should of seen the look on the faces of the car load of people that drove past just as I emerged from the back of the Landrover grasping this bird  triumphantly in one bloody hand! 

I was coming home from work one evening - rather wet and windy it was. While approaching the bus station, I passed a row of telephone terminals.  I spotted my brother-in-law, with his back to me at the end terminal.  He's rather distinctive - really tall, skinny with a mass of long jet black hair, and he always wears this old beat up biking type jacket.  I crept up behind him and slapped him really hard on the back of the head and quickly ducked down...!!  To my absolute horror this young woman turned around screaming and shouting...!!!!!!!!! I was mortified!!!
