Yesterday afternoon I told my friend "Dee" (not her real name) that I was going to San Francisco. Anyway, this is a gist of our conversation:

 

Dee: Wow, that's great! I wish I could come along...
Me: Yeah. That would be nice.
Dee: Can I ask for a favor?
Me: What is it?
Dee: Would it be too much trouble for you to take something along for my sister in Cali.
Me: Sure... but what is it?
Dee: GREAT! ...come, I'll show you!

...and this is what she had in mind. She was serious.

Me: But why can't she buy a sofa there?
Dee: She can... but this is, LIKE, really comfty!!! Quick, SIT... comfty, isn't it?!
Me: No kidding.
Dee: I know it's a bit over the limit, but I'll pay for the excess.
Me: Err... That won't be necessary.

The really silly thing is that this is not the first time. There are a lot of people out there who have serious misconceptions about air travel. From furniture to live animals... it's just amazing what they come up with!
