company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first 4 g0 O* V2 i" n' S$ A' g& k
class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting.' She " g; E" \/ L# e+ r2 s" ^
turned to the black guy, and said, 'Therefore, Sir, if you would like to,
