A LITTLE FLIGHT RELIEF.

............................from Stanley

.....After a year working with really serious issues I think my unconscious has needed a break. Several times during the holidays I have had early morning dreams of composing the most unusual letters. Here is one:

..........To Air New Zealand
..........Dear Sir
..........My name is Stanley Richards and I am a gorilla. My wife Gladys is also a gorilla. We wish to book a flight from Christchurch to Queenstown on January 29, 2008. Early morning if you can.
..........Would it be possible for you to arrange a seat near a window for my wife, since she is prone to air sickness, a condition which is exacerbated by the fact that she is six weeks pregnant? A window seat would undoubtedly help.
.........Could you also arrange for a wheelchair at the airport, not for my wife, but for me as I suffer from motor neurone disease? While I am mostly quite able, I am prone to episodes where I revert to earlier forms of phylogenic development.
.........I feel obliged to mention that my wife and I will be suitably dressed for the trip since this question has previously arisen when making application for oversea flights on other occasions.
.........May I extend to all Air New Zealand staff the appropriate season’s facilitations. .........In anticipation of a reply at your earliest convenience,
.......................I remain,
.........................Your Most Obedient Servant
...................................Stanley Richards
.

......................................................*

Interpret that !
