Hi Nadine,
From a formerly exasperated guy who spent a beautiful day down at the Jersey shore. My son sent this to me--not sure if its true but funny just the same. For non-new yawkers the NY Mets baseball team sucks big time and many vets have been traded and the remainder are waiting to find out my end July deadline. Anyway here it goes.

"Mets: Flighty response breaks tension"
Thursday, July 24, 2003

When it gets this close to the trading deadline almost everyone is caught up in the frenzy and becomes obsessed with who is getting whom. Even flight attendants can catch the trading bug.

On the Mets flight from Philadelphia to Montreal Tuesday night -- just hours after the Pirates had traded Kenny Lofton, Aramis Ramirez and Scott Sauerbeck -- there was an excited ruckus in the rear of the Mets charter.

One of the flight attendants came down and asked why they were so happy.

"We got Qusay and Uday," Al Leiter exclaimed.

"I'm sorry," the flight attendant responded, "I don't know baseball. Are they any good?"

The players broke up in laughter.

"It was hysterical," Mike Piazza said. "It spread through the plane in a nano-second."
