Here we are at the start of the second week of June but still without any hint yet of “Flaming June”.
Nevertheless we took to the skies for our first story today which involved a disappearing air steward.
Yes, it’s completely true, so on a recent British Airways flight from San Francisco to Heathrow, a search had to be undertaken by attendants after a steward failed to appear to serve drinks and snacks to business class passengers midway through the flight.
Passengers and crew began to wonder if this could this be the start of a situation similar to that depicted in the 1995 TV mini series, THE LANGOLIERS, in which passengers and crew started vanishing into thin air?
Well thankfully it was nothing akin to that this time, as the man was eventually located, albeit stark naked and dancing up and down in the cabin bathroom!
Fellow crew members described their colleague as “completely out of it”, and it has since been suggested he was likely high on drugs consumed just before the flight took off.
He was eventually bundled into a spare pair of pyjamas reserved for first class passengers, before being taken off the Airbus A-380-800 in a wheelchair.
Not surprisingly he has been suspended from duty pending an internal investigation.
Perhaps BA might like to consider the introduction of female pole dancing stewardesses which might boost the take-up of accommodation in Business and First Class areas of their flights!
Looking at other marketing techniques, it seems that some actresses may have found a niche to promote various products, such as candles, which it has been claimed give off an aroma replicating certain parts of their anatomy or, most recently, bath water?
Mind you these exploits certainly seem to be paying off – the candles and other products bearing the name of Gwyneth Paltrow are reportedly being marketed at anything up to £340 per item!
However the soap containing actual droplets of bathwater used by, EUPHORIA star, Sydney Sweeney, is we are told a limited edition product.
Plugging the product herself the actress said, ‘It’s super soft, it’s really pretty. I’m looking at it right now. It’s marbly and has blues and a little bit of brown in it.’
“It’s a very real, extremely limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater.”
The product was launched to an unsuspecting public, last Friday, 6th June by drsquatch.com
Marketed by Dr Squatch, as “SYDNEY’s BATHWATER BLISS” the product is restricted to just 5000 – 5 oz (141gr) tablets priced at US$8.00 each.
The product is being hailed as smelling super-manly – and is claimed to offer “the ultimate blend of outdoor serenity with refreshing notes of pine, douglas fir, earthy moss, plus, of course, a few drops of Sydney’s own bathwater.”
The whole project was sparked following demands from Sydney’s many male fans, appearing on her social media sites, requesting some of her bathwater.
All this followed her appearance in an advert for Dr. Squatch’s sultry Body Wash Genie in which she spoke the lines,
‘Hello you dirty little boys, are you interested in my body… wash? Well, you can’t have it, because this isn’t for boys. It’s for men.
This is Dr. Squatch Natural Body Wash with long-lasting, natural aromas like wood barrel bourbon, pine tar, coconut castaway, and fresh falls.
When you use this product, you’ll finally get the attention you deserve, so go to drsquatch.com today and quit being a dirty little boy!’
I’m now wondering if there’s any mileage or financial gain to be made in my scooping up some of my shower water before it makes it down the plughole?
Answers on a postcard……..
Meanwhile I very much hope to have the pleasure of your company once again tomorrow,
Scott
