I just came back from Florida (by way of Chicago, don't ask) and there was
an obnoxious guy on the plane who wasn't cooperating with the stewardesses.
 A guy two rows ahead of me heard what was going on and stood up in the
aisle facing the obnoxious one, obviously ready to make a move if the
latter attempted anything physical.  Mr. Obnoxious suddenly became much
more cooperative.
