New Ways to Order Drinks on the Airplane

Just when I thought I have heard everything when it comes to working my flights, someone always comes up with something new!

I was working a flight down to LAX doing our usually beverage service when I came across this one particular passenger. I could tell this person was a smart ass because we already exchanged humorous sarcastic comments during boarding. Anyway, I approached this person's row and proceeded to offer this person a drink. This person asked for a virgin screwdriver (for those of you that are not bar saavy, a screwdriver is an orange juice and vodka. By asking for it "virgin" means omitting the alcohol.)

After this person's request, I gave this person a strange look and said, "You mean an orange juice, right?" And this person responded with a yes and a doing everything possible not to laugh. I was again being toyed with by this person and we had a good laugh. So this got me thinking, what are some other ways to ask for drinks on the airplane, and here's a list I've come up with (and I'm sure will drive your flight attendants crazy the next time you fly, or better yet, see if they catch it!):

1) Virgin Screwdriver = orange juice

2) Virgin Cape Cod = cranberry juice

3) Virgin Cuba Libre = cola with a lime

4) Virgin 7 and 7 = Sprite or 7-up

5) Virgin Baileys and Coffee with 2 sugars = coffee with 2 sugars

6) Black coffee with cream and sugar (think about this one)

Can you come up with anymore?
