Heard from a friend, who said she read about it in Herb Caen, supposedly  
a true story.

An employee of USAir with the last name of Gay boarded a USAir flight  
with a free travel voucher. Soon after he sat down, someone else came  
and claimed he had the same seat assignment, so Mr. Gay moved down do an  
empty seat.

Soon after that the airplane began to fill up. The rule with the USAir  
employee vouchers is that if a paying customer needs your seat, you have  
to surrender it. So when the flight became completely full and still  
more needed to get on, a flight attendant went to the original seat of  
Mr. Gay and said the the man now sitting there, ``Excuse me, are you  
Gay?''

The man, somewhat stunned, said, ``Well, yes, as a matter of fact I  
am!''

The flight attendent said, ``I'm sorry, but you'll have to get off the  
plane.''

At this point Mr. Gay, who had been watching all of this, jumped up and  
said, ``Excuse me, you've made a mistake--I'm Gay!''

Finally, another man jumped up and said, ``Well, hell, I'm gay too!   
They can't throw us all off!''
