To Feel Like A Woman

On a Trans-Atlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The
turbulence1 is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is
struck by lightning.

One woman in particular loses it. Screaming,she stands up in the front
of the plane. "I'm too young to die!" she wails2.

Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on
earth to be memorable3! No one has ever made me really feel like a
woman! Well I've had it! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me
feel like a WOMAN??"

For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril4,
and they all stare, riveted5, at the desperate woman in the front of the
plane.

Then, a man stands up in the rear of the plane. "I can make you feel
like a woman," he says.

He's gorgeous! Tall, built, with flowing black hair and jet black eyes,
he starts to walk slowly up the aisle6, unbuttoning his shirt one button
at a time.

No one moves.

The woman is breathing heavily in anticipation7 as the strange man
approaches.

He removes his shirt.

Muscles ripple8 across his chest as he reaches her, and extends the arm
holding his shirt to the trembling woman, and whispers: "Iron this."
