Have you ever wished you had the perfect comeback line right on the tip of your tongue? You know, the kind that leaves everyone speechless? Well, sometimes it actually happens, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

I was on a flight, and our flight attendant was an openly gay man who had a knack for putting everyone in a good mood. He was serving us food and drinks, with a flair that brought smiles to our faces.

As the plane was getting ready to land, he made his way down the aisle with a swish in his step. In a playful tone, he announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, Captain Marvey has kindly asked me to inform you that we will be landing the big scary plane soon. So, if you could please put your trays up, that would be super.”

On his way back up the aisle, he noticed a strikingly elegant young woman who hadn’t budged a muscle. Without missing a beat, he said, “Maybe you didn’t hear me over those powerful engines, but I did ask you to raise your tray. We wouldn’t want to miss the ‘pitty-pat’ of our landing, now would we?”

The woman turned her head calmly and replied, “In my country, I am known as a Princess, and I take orders from no one.” It seemed like the perfect shutdown, but our flight attendant had an even better response. With a twinkle in his eye, he said, “Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country, I’m called a Queen, and I outrank you. So, tray up, Bitch.”

Sometimes, life can surprise us with unexpected moments that make us laugh and remind us not to take ourselves too seriously. This witty exchange between the flight attendant and the young woman is a perfect example. It’s a reminder that a lighthearted sense of humor can turn an ordinary experience into something truly memorable.

So, the next time you find yourself in a situation where a quick comeback is needed, remember this story and embrace your inner wit. After all, a clever remark can not only leave others in awe but also bring a smile to your face.
