9. Wanna hear a good Cusak story?

This was told to me by friends. It concerns a guy we all used to work with, and knowing him like I do, I have no doubt it's the truth.

I'll call this guy "Jeff."

Jeff hates flying. So before taking a West Coast commuter flight, the coworker traveling with him, well aware of his anxiety and not wanting to deal with it, gives him some anti-anxiety pills. She tells him, in no uncertain terms, "...but DO NOT drink booze with these."

So, they get to the gate, board the plane, and as they do, Jeff notices Cusak sitting in a first class seat. No big deal, he goes and sits down in coach. The plane takes off, Jeff pops the pills, and the beverage service starts. So what does Jeff do?

Orders a few drinks. Naturally.

After downing a couple vodka tonics, Jeff gets up to use the restroom. But not the one at the rear of the plane, like a good coach passenger should. And before he gets to the loo, he stops to talk to Cusak.

Okay, it was more like...um...accost Cusak.

Alright, I suppose it wouldn't be inaccurate to say...verbally abuse Cusak. Extensively. To the point that the flight crew had to physically restrain Jeff.

The coworker, sitting several rows back, naturally shoved her face deeper into the inflight magazine during the entire episode.

The next thing Jeff remembers is that he woke up in his seat, with a pair of pants folded neatly over the seat in front of him. His first thought was, "What the hell is a pair of pants doing folded neatly over the seat in front of me?" His second thought was, "Hey, those look like my pants."

His third thought was, "Those are my pants."

John Cusak: Makes drugged, drunk men take their pants off in airplanes.
