lost luggage
mr. lee: hi. i came in on flight 513. everyone else took their luggage off the conveyor belt, but mine doesn’t seem to be there.
clerk: let me check the computer. uh- oh. looks like your luggage is on its way to paris.
mr. lee: you’re kidding. what am i going to do?
clerk: well, we can give you this lovely shaving kit and call you the minute your luggage arrives here. just leave us a contact number.
mr. lee: you can reach me at 13661306917.
clerk: thank you. i am terribly sorry about this. it very happens. we do have a sophisticated tracking system, so i know we will find it soon. but we apologize for the inconvenience.
mr. lee: that’s ok. there wasn’t anything important in there anyway. the shaving kit more than makes up for many lost luggage.
clerk: wow! i have been working here for 15 years and you’re the first person to accept a lost luggage situation cheerfully.
mr. lee: i’ve had a lot worse problems than this traveling so it’s really no big deal.

mr. lee: hi. i’m here to catch flight 513 to new york.

mr. lee: here you are. do you need to see my passport?
ms. shrimp: any form of picture i.d. will do.
mr. lee: hmmm…a photo i.d. i have my new jersey driver’s license is that ok?
ms. shrimp: that will do. what an interesting picture! how old is it?
mr. lee: actually it was taken just last year, but i had a shaved head and a beard. can you still recognize me?
