Tired, after the latest leg of his election tour of the US, hopeful future President Ron Paul was waiting in a queue to board his flight to Iowa for his Christmas Vacation. Unfortunately, there was a commotion at the booking desk with some Mexicans. These were the Alamo Re-enactment Society (Top Gun Section) coming back from a training exercise. A member of the party had mislaid his passport and was refused to board the aircraft.
Things were getting rather heated and there was quite a lot of waiving of arms and cussing. Many boarders were getting angry and kept looking at their watches because they could soon miss their flights
Dr Paul calmly walked over to the flustered booking clerk and simply said:
"Do you know who I am?" in the hope of being able to quickly resolve the situation.
The clerk, still angry, sarcastically announced over the public address system:
"Could security please come to check-in desk number 8. We have a gentleman here who doesn't know who he is."
The airport terminal erupted into raucous laughter when they saw what the commotion was about.
