October, 1996:
The month began with a trip to Appleton, Wisconsin, where I conducted a full-day radio programming seminar for the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association.
I flew from L.A. to Chicago, then changed to a very small jet for the brief flight to Appleton. Seated next to me was an Australian chap who, judging from his aroma, apparently hadn’t had an opportunity to bathe for several weeks.
Coincidentally, my return flight from Chicago to L.A. was highlighted by two very loud drunks across the aisle from me. Australians, both of them.
This, by the way, is the way New Zealanders say all Aussies are.
I refuse to take sides. In the battle between Australia and New Zealand, I’m Switzerland.

Sorry if I ruined your flight!
