a very attractive air-person directed me up the steps , where i was greeted by the pilot , and escorted to a scrumptiously soft swivel , rocker arm chair which was identical to the one that david was sound asleep in , and the pilot whispered that he was mortified that david was not awake to greet me , but he would have been soundly whipped on his return if his landing had woken him up , so i kicked him ( david , not the pilot ) .
