A good story

[Georgie]

I just have to share this one. At a faculty meeting the other day, our assistant principal told this tale. She is currently taking doctorate courses in NY. A classmate of hers flies in weekly from Detroit to attend one of the classes. At the Detroit airport, there was a delay so the woman bought a package of shortbread cookies at the airport gift shop to snack on. She sat in a waiting area, and after a while, opened the cookies and began to eat one. The man seated next to her, without saying a word, picked up the package of cookies and ate one. She just looked at him and decided not to say anything. She was a woman traveling alone, in a big city, a little nervous about mentioning it. She ate another cookie, the man ate another cookie. Neither person said a word to each other. This went on until finally the man took the last cookie in the package. She thought the guy had a heck of a nerve, but still didn't say anything. He broke the last cookie in half and gave her one half. He walked away. Later on the plane, the woman reached into her carry-on to get out a book and pulled out--- HER package of cookies. Just goes to show ya that things aren't always what they seem!
