My grandma was on a TDY flight when she worked for the Air Force and these guys were trying to flirt with her. Reba sauntered from the front of the plane back to where my grandma was sitting and said “Ma’am are these boys botherin’ you?” My grandma was born in Macon, Georgia so she and Reba talked until the flight ended about their favorite foods.
