“I’m a pretty friendly guy and I don’t even mind going through security. I usually wear a company T-shirt, and one time a well-known actor and his son were in line behind me. I was prepared for the agents to make a fuss over the actor. Instead, they ignored him and his son, and broke out in huge smiles when it was my turn. They obviously didn’t want my autograph. But they did want some Popeyes coupons, which can make getting through security a breeze.” —Popeyes COO Ralph Bower, who choked on a plane and sprayed water atop angry, unfeeling passengers in the process, on his customary treatment at airports.
