A memory:
I was at some airport somewhere... I think it was in Texas. And the airport had, for better or worse, created a paging system that was open to the public. There were these computerized kiosks where you could type in a person's name, and the kiosk would then page that person over the entire airport's PA system, requesting them to call the phone at the kiosk at which the name was entered. I remember walking by a kiosk and thinking, whoever started this system was naive, or had great trust in the public, or something...
Among the variety of mischievous pages I heard during my short layover, my favorite was:
"Will passenger Salinger report to ____, will passenger J. D. Salinger please report to ____."
It was like the Mel in the Simpsons, but so much better cuz it was real life in the airport!
