The Luxembourg airport looked likeTHIS:
Needless to say, we weren't going anywhere fast. Our flight was delayed. Then it was cancelled. Then we were re-routed on a Heathrow flight, which was, of course, delayed. Farmer John decided he needed a SNACK. He bought a blueberry smoothie and THEN decided vending machine chips would make for a perfect pair. He pondered the choices.
He very carefully counted out the required euros for the transaction (I believe he opted for paprika flavored potato crisps, in the end).
In the money went!
But the machine would not TAKE his money!! Farmer John was taken by surprise when the money comes clattering out into the change bin.
He tried again. Maybe the first time was a fluke? Those chips, after all, looked mighty tasty.
Farmer John was shocked! Once again, the machine refused his coinage! What the hell, machine?! Give the man some CHIPS!
Farmer John, however, was a good sport. He resigned himself, with a bittersweet smile, to his chip-less fate.
He achieved a stoic, philosophical, anthroposophic attitude toward the chip machine as he prepared his blueberry smoothie.
He tenderly inserted the straw.
And, gracefully, he made do with his non-chipped fate with the best straw-suckin' face in Luxembourg. Here's to you, Farmer John.
