You thought you had heard it all, and then in line at the security checkpoint at JFK International this couple pulled the ultimate tragic sob story about a child needing a heart transplant or something to try and worm their way up to the front of the line. No matter that it was their fault they were late and they could not corroborate the story of the sick baby with medical records or even a sad photograph. The buck, as they say, stopped directly in line behind us.
Nice try, assholes.
