Things you learn in an airport...........

What do you get when you mix 23 college baseball players, a nine year old kid and too much time waiting in an airport? Well................check out the video below.

It seems that we breezed through the unloading, bag check and security checks as we left San Fran for Anchorage last week. This allowed us some extra time to sit and wait at the gate. This also allowed time for some practical jokes to be played. Let me give you the setting.........

Some of our guys got the idea to set up "dollar man", modeled after the "bush man" in San Fran. I have to admit it was funny to watch.

The guys would tie a dollar bill to some dental floss, place the dollar in their back pocket, then walk across the floor in front of oncoming people. Someone would then pull the dollar tied to the floss. It would fall to the floor as the person kept walking. The unsuspecting person walking would see the dollar fall out of the person's pocket and either keep walking or try and pick it up. The person on the other end would then pull the dollar away.

Well, you really just have to see it. Here is video of Kirkland playing the part of "dollar man".

Thought I would let you know you guys made the Weather Channel last week. I was checking the weather (whike at the Isle of Palms)and heard a blurb about the 24 hrs of daylight in Alaska. The anchor made a comment that there was baseball game being played in Anchorage at the 10 pm hr. That was cool. Glad all is well.

Enjoyed the trick. Very funny. Are you following my Dawgs at the College World Series? They won their side of the bracket and will be in the finals series starting Monday. UNC beat Fresno St tonight. They play again tomorrow to see who plays the Dawgs for the championship.

Praying for you all. Sorry about the loss but that's baseball.

Great video...would have loved to see the faces of those people.

Hey, been watching the CWS and pulled for the Dogs last night. Tonight I am pulling for the Dawgs.

I am in NY now and have just gotten e-mail and internet access. Let's just say it is time to head south again!
