At the Airport

Washington DC

When I was at the airport yesterday and going through security, an officer asked me, “Do you have any beverages?”

I thought he said, “Do you have and privileges?”

I responded, “Why do I need them?”

He remained silent for a few seconds. I then realized what he was asking about and I said, “sorry, I thought you asked if I had any privileges. But no I don’t have either beverages or privileges.”

And then I said to myself, “I only have my name.”
