Football and life have the same plot.
Goals. Glory. Disappointments. Sudden Departure.
The moments nobody sees coming.
I write about both. Man United. Lagos.
**Cabin Crew:** Captain... the flight attendant you've been chatting with and promising layover dinners is my girlfriend.
**Pilot:** Which one?
**Cabin Crew:** Jessica.
**Pilot:** Ah. Okay.
**Cabin Crew:** If you take her from me, this aircraft won't be big enough for both of us.
**Pilot:** I'm booking the crew hotel now. Want a suite too?
**Cabin Crew:** Sir... it's not that I'm choosing a hotel upgrade over my relationship.
**Cabin Crew:** But since you're offering...
**Pilot:** Done.
**Cabin Crew:** While we're here, my cousin wants to get into aviation.
**Pilot:** Send his résumé.
**Cabin Crew:** And next month's roster?
**Pilot:** Already changed.
**Cabin Crew:** Captain... are you always this helpful?
**Pilot:** Son, if she leaves you for me, you're gonna need the suite, the job contact, *and* the better roster.
**Pilot:** I'm just planning ahead.
