While awaiting the arrival of our "puddle jumper" airplane for
the return flight across Jamaica to the major airport, I sat wringing my hands
and trying to quiet the butterflies in my stomach in anticipation of the tiny
airplane and a very bumpy flight.
Suddenly, an old fire truck began speeding
down the runway, toward the arriving airplane, with sirens blaring. Frantic now,
I implored the ticket agent to tell me what was happening.
She calmly answered,
"Oh they just do that to clear the landing strip of chickens!"
