I once got an upgrade to first class
on a Varig flight from Brazil to Uruguay. Me and a collegue were flying together. We were the only two people in the cabin - hence I suppose the upgrade.

I wanted one of those spiffy bags of goodies they give out, but my collegue wasn't bothered. Hatching a cunning plan, I said to the steward I had forgotten my toothbrush, could he sort me something out.

'Of course sir, let me see what I can find', he said. I looked smugly at my collegue, in the safe knowledge that I would shortly receive a smart Pierre cardin leather necessaire, brimming with expensive perfumes, lush soap, soft socks and all manner of other luxury goods. Collegue looked mildy disgruntled at missing out on this bonanza, which only made me smugger.

5 minutes later the steward comes back, and accompnaied by quiet chortles from my collegue, gives me a shitty little toothbrush, and a 5ml tube of chinese toothpaste.

Cunt.
