You Gotta Be Kidding Me! A passenger is talking to an airline agent at JFK’s Terminal 4. “I’m going to Miami for vacation,” he says. “I want to send the big suitcase in my right hand to Orlando and the smaller suitcase to Tallahassee.” The airline agent replies, “I’m afraid that’s not possible. We can’t send your luggage to two separate places.” The passenger responds, “Great then, because that’s what you did on my last flight!”
