Walking through the cabin, a flight attendant noticed a man drenched in sweat, trembling, and biting his nails.
“Perhaps I could bring you a glass of whiskey? It might help you feel better”, the flight attendant suggested. After an obvious internal struggle, the man whispered: “Alright.”
Checking on the same passenger again, the flight attendant found him in an even more pitiful state. “A second glass?”, she asked. The man said nothing, and just nodded his head.
When the flight attendant returned to the passenger for a third time, he was sobbing uncontrollably. “I’ve never seen anyone so afraid of flying”, the flight attendant remarked, to which the passenger replied: “I’m not afraid of flying at all, I’m trying to quit drinking!”
