Have you ever heard a strange exchange between a flight attendant and a passenger? ~

Overheard between an airline passenger and a flight attendant:

Would you like something to drink?

Yes, do you have tomato juice?

We certainly do, I’ll bring you a glass of it, ok?

Wait, what is the temperature, please?

Excuse me?

What’s the temperature?

The temperature here in the aircraft or the temperature at our destination?

No, the temperature of the tomato juice.

The tomato juice. 

Yes, the tomato juice.

Are you asking whether it’s chilled or at room temperature?

No, I’m asking what is the actual temperature in degrees of the juice itself, not the can or the bottle, not even the plastic cup, but the juice.

You’re kidding, right?  Is this a joke?

I’m not joking.

You truly cannot be serious. 

I am serious. I need to know if it’s the right temperature before I drink it.

Well, I suppose I could tell you that it’s chilled, but I have no way of gauging the exact temperature in degrees.

I thought this is one of the top airlines in the world.

Listen, I’ll bring you the tomato juice and let you decide if it’s the right temperature for your needs.

No, never mind. If you don’t have the temperature, it’s not worth it.
