Just got back from my dad's wedding. It was a nice ceremony, but made my weekend kind of blurrrr by. Traveling halfway across the country and back in 3 days with little to no sleep will do things to ya. I know I've learned that the less time I spend in Texas, the better my life will be. We had a connection in Houston, where the airport is named after the current president's father. This lead to conversations that tittlated my brother and I and annoyed Alli, who had the severe misfortune to be traveling with us.

UPON ARRIVAL AT GEORGE BUSH INTL AIRPORT IN HOUSTON:
MATT: I just can't wait to get into Bush.
BEN: I'm so excited to think that in a few moments we'll be unloading into Bush. (peering out the window at the grass surrounding the runway) You'd think the landing strip would be better trimmed. I hate a long landing strip at Bush.
MATT: At least it's not raining like the weatherman said it would. I was expecting a wet Bush.
ALLI: (embarassed that other passengers might be hearing this) You guys! Grow up!
BEN: Sorry. You know how excited us guys get about Bush.
MATT: Yeah, don't worry, it's only an hour layover.
BEN: Yeah, I usually like to spend about an hour in Bush and then take off.
MATT: Don't most men? Heh heh (dirty look from Alli) Uh, love you honey.

LOOKING INTO THE FOOD COURT:
ALLI: I'm hungry. Do we have time to eat?
BEN: I always like to eat when I'm in Bush.
MATT: Look, they have a Rubio's. For some reason being in Bush always puts me in the mood for a fish taco.
ALLI: Matthew!

BEN EMERGES FROM THE BATHROOM IN THE TERMINAL:
BEN: God, what a disgusting mess.
MATT: Bathroom's not clean?
BEN: No. God, if there's one thing I hate it's an unsanitary Bush. (Alli groans, thinking this was over)
MATT: So, you're telling me this is one stinky Bush?
ALLI: Come on, we need to get to our connecting gate.
MATT: We need to hurry then. I don't know who designed this place, but this Bush is so spread out.

WAITING AT THE GATE FOR OUR CONNECTING FLIGHT:
MATT: Looks like we're going to have a crowded flight.
BEN: Jesus, it's like everyone comes through Bush.
