At check-in, he was asked by the smiling agent, “Any bags to check?”
“None.” Joe matched the smile.
“Carry-on?”
“Nope.”
“Seat preference?”
“Not really.”
“Breakfast snack?”
“No, thank you.”
“So, you don’t need any extras, Sir?”
“Exactly.”
That morning, Joe was wearing 4 boxers, 3 tee-shirts, a dress shirt, a necktie, 3 pairs of socks, skinny jeans under sweats, a fleece vest, and a hoodie with 2 Kind bars and a juice box stuffed in the kangaroo pocket.
