| crowded airliner
In a crowded airliner a five-year-old boy is throwing a wild temper tantrum.
No matter what his frustrated, embarrassed mother does to try to calm him down, the boy continues to scream furiously and kick the seats around him.
Suddenly, from the rear of the plane, an elderly man slowly walks forward up the aisle.
Stopping the flustered mother with an upraised hand, the man leans down and whispers something into the boy's ear.
Instantly, the boy calms down, gently takes his mother's hand, and quietly fastens his seat belt. All the other passengers burst into spontaneous applause.
As the man slowly makes his way back to his seat, one of the stewardesses takes him by the sleeve.
"Excuse me" she says quietly, "but what magic words did you use on that little boy?"
The old man smiles serenely and gently says, "I told him if he didn't cut that shit out, I'd kick his fucking ass to the moon."
