l14dap 1 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 John Heckathorn's column in today's Honolulu Star Bulletin: Hawaiian Airlines flew about 150 VIPs on its first flight to Manila last week. "My breasts almost caused an international incident," said KHNL news anchor Diane Ako. Ako, who's still nursing daughter Olivia, was unable to bring her along. Instead, she brought a breast pump, complete with battery pack. In the air, she confided to a helpful flight attendant that it wasn't working. The flight attendant, thinking there might be some place on the plane to plug it in, tried contacting a mechanic, causing a number of passengers seated nearby, including Emme Tomimbang, to inquire if the plane was having mechanical difficulties. No, said the flight attendant discreetly, it was Ako who needed help. Tomimbang, assuming there was something wrong with her video gear, proffered the services of her cameraman. Informed of the real situation, Emme said, "Oh, I can't help with that." Ako never got her breast pump to work -- but, if this isn't too much information for you already, former first lady Vicki Cayetano explained to Ako how to deal with the problem, ahem, manually. When she got back to Honolulu, Ako realized she'd put the batteries in backward. Too funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
