And to think that all of these were gotten without talking to airline employees! Boy, the stories I could tell . . . .

What I am about to write is the truth and nothing but the truth!!! I SWEAR!
I was travelling to New Orleans from Maine and the flight had to be diverted to Memphis for weather. I work in the IT field and had been up for 2 days straight doing a go live at a hospital- therefore I was extremely tired....
While we were on our way to Memphis- I was seated in the window seat and the middle seat was vacant and the end seat was occupied by a boy around 14-16 years old! Did I mention how tired I was? Anyway, I am not a big girl- 5'2" and about 120 (give or take few pounds around the holdays) well I decided to lay down onto the middle seat, on my side. Well, while i had my eyes closed for what had to have been no more than 5 minutes- the boy in the end seat decided to reach over and cop a feel of my BOOBS- not ONE BOOB- but Both BOOBS!!! And I thought OMG-I must be really tired as my brain is playing tricks on me. Needless to say I shot up and looked over at the boy and he was looking straight ahead and would not look at me. At this point I was thinking to myself- that I really needed a vacation because I am starting to hallucinate.
So I look over again at the boy and he still would not look at me. I knew at this point something was up. We land in Memphis and they allow us passengers to get up and move about. I walk into the gally and start talking to the flight attendents and tell them what happend. Noone is believing me at this point, The captain comes out and starts LAUGHING his ass off and said "YEAH HIGH 5 for the boy!!" Of course, we are all laughing our asses off at this point because I sound so rediculous. So I go to walk back to my seat when the boy asks me to walk out onto the jetway- I am thinking, can this get any weirder??? The boy actually apologized to me and told me the reason that he felt my BOOBS was....are you ready for this explanation??? is that he is a diabetic...... I was stunned and asked him if I looked like a freaking candy bar to him??? I read him the riot act and told him never to touch women without their permission yada yada yada......We go back to our seats and take off for New Orleans. I alerted the flight attendants that he in fact did apologize and that I was not making the story up.
We landed and I think every big wig from Delta was at the gate, making sure I was okay wanting to know if I wanted to fill out paper work blah blah blah. I said I was fine and just went on my merry way. Everyone I tell cracks up at that story. People are CRAZY!!!!
Crazy kid... 14-16... I'm thinking it had more to do with hormones than insulin. Shoulda at least had them detain him and scare the !@*% out of him... maybe more trouble that it was worth though.
