I had a Dave Gorman moment on BA48 out of Seattle yesterday. There was another Stephen Ellis on board and the BA computer had set us up to share seat 33A for the ten hour flight. Well, that's what our respective boarding passes said anyway.

There followed a comic sketch to delight our fellow passengers in economy, involving two Stephen Ellis' and a irony free airport security guard (were we caught red-handed smuggling Stephen Ellis' out of the USA?).

Strangely, that's the second time this has happened to me on the flight back from Seattle. Obviously a destination popular with Stephen Ellis'.
