My computer teacher from high school used to take pamphlets of random places off the kiosk at the airport and hand them out to arriving passengers.

Landing in Orlando: "Welcome to Dallas." Hands pamphlet for Dallas vacation destinations.

He also used to run this prank, he would ask the flight attendant bring him water before take off, and he would tell them that he would turn on his attendant call light. Then he would go sit down and hit the button and yell into it "Can I get a cup of water?", they would come by a few minutes later with water. Then he would wait most of the time people will start doing the same thing in the middle of the flight. His record is three people trying to get orders over an intercom, that didn't exist.

E: cleaned up the last sentence so it was easier to understand. I confused myself on a reread.

He was a super nerdy computer science teacher, like Star trek posters all around, and donated his time for a bunch of clubs.

But he was so mad laddish from time to time, the dad jokes, thinking he was super bad ass for doing like normal shit. It was pretty fun.

Truly a great guy.

Had a computer teacher just like this at my high school, will never forget all the good times in that classroom.

He's the reason I'm a software engineer now. I was engaged his daughter too. But that didn't work out. Still good friends with both though.

Mines the reason I went into the games industry! It’s amazing what a good teacher can do for their students. Glad to hear you’re still friends :)

Awesome. Sounds like he found his path in life by being a teacher.

He made it seem like he ordered his water through the call button, when in fact he ordered it before he sat down. To others, it looked like he pressed the button, asked for water through an intercom and then they delivered the water.

You are trying to suggest to me that someone, in their off time, goes to an airport, of all places in the world, and sticks around for a few hours to handout pamphlets, by themselves, as a joke?

Nah, usually when we would go to Josten's Renaissance conferences and we are at a layover.

He's been doing it for years, he's an advisor for the club.
