Reader's Digest CyberSmiles To pass the time while our plane was being de-iced, the flight attendants played a trivia game with the passengers. They asked us to guess the total number of years the three of them had worked for the airlines. After an attendant collected our estimates, we heard the announcement: "The correct answer is 26 years. For the two people who came closest with 28 years, we have prizes. And as for the passenger in seat 12F who guessed 85 years -- would you please step off the plane once we are airborne."  --Contributed to "Life in These United States" by Alice Jarrell Smiles, grins & humor from the files of Reader's Digest!
