Flight 1232, Now Balding

The scene:  Salt Lake International Airport, July 2007.

JD: (to himself) I wonder if the unbelievably tiny, freckle-laden woman sitting next to me is Christina Applegate.

Woman sitting next to him: (on the phone) Hi, this is Chris.  Yada, yada . . .

JD:  (to himself)  What was that movie called where she played a flight attendant?

Christina:  Hi, are you flying to Phoenix?

JD: No.

Christina:  Did you hear the announcement they just made?

JD:  Yes.  Yada, yada . . .  Are you Christina Applegate?

Christina:  Laughs.  I am.

JD:  It feels very natural to see you here since I saw the movie where you played a flight attendant.  

Christina: Laughs.  That was a fun movie to do.  Can I rub your head?

JD:  Sure.

After a good rub of the freshly-shaved head, she walked off to catch her flight.  A few months later, she has won myriad awards for her new show, she has triumphed over a battle with breast cancer, and now, a year and a half later, she is on the cover of People's "100 Most Beautiful" issue. 

So next time you see him, you may want to give JD's head a rub for luck.
