he said, well, clearly youknow you're God, so go ahead and
do it. And the flight attendantwent to the pilot and said, there

is this disruptive passenger and literally hadthem turn the flight all the way back
around, and everybody had to waitfor this dude to get off the plane.
And he was like, I didn'tdo anything. I wasn't disruptive.
I didn't get out of my seat, I didn't yell. I didn't do
anything except call the man a waiter. No, I was a man.

they said. Eventually, he said, they offered me ten thousand miles
in an apology two weeks after thefact. But step, he said,
