The NY Post reports (via) that "A US citizen was booted from a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to New York after he complained there were "Arab types" on board".
Three questions spring to mind. Did this guy know that he was on a Turkish Airlines flight? Did he know that he was in Turkey? And did he travel to Turkey for a corneal transplant operation, receive his transplant in the Istanbul airport just before he boarded his plane and then realize, goshdarnit, Turkey was full of Arab types?
This reminds me of the time a friend of mine from India stepped off the plane in New York for the first time in his life and exclaimed, wow there are a lot of foreigners in this country. Actually he didn't really say that but this is a good way to illustrate my point. Also, if he had actually said that, I would probably not have divulged it in a public forum like this for fear of embarrassing him. So since he didn't actually say that, I am comfortable with saying that he did.

Totally ROTFL! No wonder American tourists are made fun of in Europe.
your friend actually said that, didn't he?
which essentially means I can probably (comfortably) quote you on anything and make it up without the fear of actually getting attacked by Turkish geese? awesome.
patrix : not to mention here in the US as well.
Rukmani : Actually I don't remember if it was him or me. Regardless I will say it was him.
Vaudevillian : Yes, you may do that. But don't quote the geese. they are not as forgiving.
