The Irish Woman

A beautiful, well-dressed Irish woman seats herself in the first class cabin on a cross-country flight, and settles herself in for the trip, smiling prettily at admiring passengers seated around her. Underway, a flight attendant soon approaches the Irish woman and says, 'Miss, I'm sorry, but I see that your ticket is for coach, and you're seated in first class; I'm afraid you'll have to move.' 

The woman replies, 'I'm Irish, and I'm beautiful, and I'm going to New York to be a model.' 

Slightly incredulous, the attendant alerts the senior flight attendant. The senior attendant approaches the woman and says, politely, 'I'm sorry, Miss, but since your ticket is for coach, you'll have to move back.' 

The woman replies, sweetly, 'I'm Irish, and I'm beautiful, and I'm going to New York to be a model' -- and shows no signs of moving. 

 Frustrated, the senior attendant informs the captain, and he says he'll deal with the problem. He turns over flight control, walks to the rear, and observes the woman seated comfortably in first class. Approaching her with a smile, the captain leans over and speaks quietly into the Irish woman's ear. Almost immediately, the woman gathers her things, gets up, and moves quickly to the coach compartment. 

Amazed, the senior flight attendant asks the captain, 'Captain, I'm impressed ... what did you say to her?' The captain grinned slyly and said, 'I just told her that the first class cabin doesn't go to New York.'
