Guy who buys plane tickets just to go to the airport sushi bar
Announcer: Final boarding call for flight 273 to Los Angeles... the gate has closed for flight 273, there will be no more boarding.
Guy At Sushi Bar (jokingly): Whoops, looks like I missed my flight! Again. Oh noooo.
[Guy At Sushi Bar and Sushi Chef share a laugh]
Guy At Sushi Bar: Another three yellowtails, my friend.
Sushi Chef: Wait - Los Angeles? Why don't you just get a ticket to Boston, it's 300 dollars cheaper.
Guy at Sushi Bar (no longer laughing, dead serious): Goddamnit.

Charles Schwab (nudging Grandson like "watch this"): Reservation for 2 for Schwab. Charles Schwab.
Hostess: Alright Mr. Schwab, your table is ready!

Hostess: Uh... yes (checks reservation book) Mr. Schwab. Your table's ready. Right by the window over here.
Charles Schwab: No I'm the Charles Schwab.
Hostess: Riiight. I got that. Enjoy your meal, Mr. Schwab.
[Exit Hostess. Charles Schwab and his Grandson are seated]
Grandson: Why do you have to do that everywhere we go?
Charles Schwab (stewing): That strumpet! I'm the reason she doesn't pay ATM fees - but does she care? No. That's it - I'm shutting down her account. I'm Charles Schwab dammit! CHARLES SCHWAB!

Grandson: Grandpa, Mom had this thing looked at on her arm, they said it could be cancerou--
Charles Schwab: -- maybe they don't know I'm a real person! They think "Charles Schwab" is some made-up guy like Mister Clean. Gotta talk to marketing about getting my face out there more. First thing Monday.
