An employee for USAir, who happened to have the last name of GAY, got on a
 plane recently using one of his company's "Free Flight" programs. However,
 when Mr. Gay tried to take his seat, he found it being occupied by a
 paying passenger. So, not to make a fuss, he simply chose another seat.
 Unknown to Mr. Gay, another USAir flight at the airport experienced
 mechanical problems. The passengers of this other flight were being
 rerouted to various airplanes. A few were put on Mr. Gay's flight and
 anyone who was holding a "free" ticket was being "bumped". Airline
 officials, armed with a list of these "freebie" ticket holders boarded the
 plane to remove the free ticket holders. Of course, our Mr. Gay was not
 sitting in his assigned seat as you may remember. So when the Ticket
 Agent approached the seat where Mr. Gay was supposed to be sitting, she
 asked a startled customer "Are you Gay?". The man, shyly nodded that he
 was, at which point she demanded: "Then you have to get off the plane".
 Our Mr. Gay, overhearing what the Ticket Agent had said, tried to clear up
 the situation: "You've got the wrong man. I'm Gay!". This caused an angry
 third passenger to yell "Hell, I'm gay too! They can't kick us all off!"
 Confusion reined as more an more passengers began yelling that USAir had
 no right to remove gays from their flights. As far as I know, they are
 still on the tarmac fighting it out.
