200Px-Carl Xvi Gustaf Of Sweden 3-1A few months back I got on to a plane with Sam only to find Kanye West and his Mum in our seats (they moved, we discussed PSP vs Nintendo DS). Seems people sitting in my seat is a regular occurrence.

On Friday, I was sitting down, minding my own business when a soldier in full dress uniform came on the plane, he looked at my seat number, then at me. Then two old guys got on, they did the same thing, before politely mentioning that I was in their seat. I checked my boarding pass and was in the right seat. We both had the same.

I’m a happy guy, so I made a joke, “It’s okay dude, I have soft legs, you can sit on my knee for now then we’ll swap halfway.” There was general laughter. I then said that as they were obviously traveling together I’d happily move, unless of course they fancied squeezing. More mirth.

So I moved to my new seat, the soldier apologised, and said thanks, and that’s when the flight attendant came up to me and whispered, “You just asked the King of Sweden to sit on your knee.”

That made my day…!
