DAEGU, KOREA-
Blind drunk at five hundred & thirty nine miles per hour, at somewhere around thirty thousand feet, I ponder the question any waegook ponders after meeting a Korean girl: namely, why the hell do they all want to be airplane cabin crew?
“So what’s the deal here? Are you gals pilfering our red wine? Is that it? You call this a glass of wine? Fuck. This is tiny! You’re all drinking back there… I know it…”
“Sir, please, drink your wine.”
“Fair point,” I say, changing approach. “If it isn’t the wine, then why the fuck are you working thirty thousand feet above where it’s safe to do so, getting grab-assed by drunk Yanks and Arabs? It can’t be the money…”
