Heard from a friend, who said she read about it in Herb Caen, supposedly a
true story.

An employee of USAir with the last name of Gay boarded a USAir flight with
a free travel voucher. Soon after he sat down, someone else came and
claimed he had the same seat assignment, so Mr. Gay moved down do an empty
seat.

Soon after that the airplane began to fill up. The rule with the USAir
employee vouchers is that if a paying customer needs your seat, you have to
surrender it. So when the flight became completely full and still more
needed to get on, a flight attendant went to the original seat of Mr. Gay
and said the the man now sitting there, "Excuse me, are you Gay?"

The man, somewhat stunned, said, "Well, yes, as a matter of fact I am!"

The flight attendent said, "I'm sorry, but you'll have to get off the
plane."

At this point Mr. Gay, who had been watching all of this, jumped up and
said, "Excuse me, you've made a mistake -- I'm Gay!"

Finally, another man jumped up and said, "Well, hell, I'm gay too! They
can't throw us all off!"
