After years of study, I have known there are only two types of people in this worldthose who get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.

If there were any justice in this world, the early-airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late-airport people would be punished. But the early-airport people get ulcers (溃疡), heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone. The late-airport people are hardly aware that they are flying.

A guy of that kind once said, Don’t hurry. If you miss your flight, it’s because God didn’t want you to go.This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.

Early-airport people suffer anothername. They are called exactly what they arewimps(懦夫). I know. I am an early-airport person for years. My luggage will get on the plane first, which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing.

Another strange thingNo matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat. I figured it was a trick. I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said, Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today? If he is, give me his seat.

After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead, I have learned another fact about early-airport people and late-airport people:

They always marry each other.
