JOKE:
   While in Korea, Gov. Mike Smith of Utah was relaxing in the VIP lounge the Seoul airport, awaiting his flight to Japan. At the same moment , his press secretary, Jenny Varela, was being told at the ticket counter that she had no ticket.
   After insisting she had to make the flight because she was with a U. S. governor, an American embassy aide intervened. Varela got a standby ticket and boarded just before take-off. Regaining her composure, Varela went to the front of the plane to tell Smith of her adventure. He was not there. She later found out that the governor was told that he had been bumped by an urgent standby passenger.
   It was Varela.
譯文：
   在韓國時，猶他州的州長麥克·史密斯正在漢城機場的要人休息室里休息。他在等著飛往日本的航班。與此同時，他的新聞秘書、詹妮·維蕾拉，在售票房被告知沒票了。
   她堅持說要乘此航班，因為她是一位美國的州長的隨員，這樣美國大使館的一位副官介入了。維蕾拉拿到一張待機票并趕在飛機起飛前登了機。略略鎮定后，維蕾拉到機艙前部去告訴史密斯她的經歷。他不在那兒。她后來得知，有人告知州長，他的飛行被一位緊急待機乘客沖撞掉了。
   這個人就是維蕾拉。
