Darwinism at work

I had a business trip recently and flew to Louisianna for a few days to consult and troubleshoot with another branch of our company. When I was on the plane, the stewardesses gave the whole demonstration of what to do with air masks and the like and there was a video going at the same time. The video was of passengers on a mocked up 747 or some larger airplane. They had a mock emergency in which the oxygen masks fell down and the passengers were supposed to put them on. Something didn't look right to me and I realized that for each row of 3 people, only 2 masks fell down. Either the video was only supposed to have 2 seats or one of their props didn't work the way it should have. In any case, I thought what would I do if the same scenario played out on my row? The guys sitting on either side of me looked pretty tough and I found out they were friends during the flight. Being the 3rd wheel, I realized that when the two masks fell down, I was the odd man out. All I know is that I needed to secure air for myself and I doubt that buddy breathing was going to get it done. This caused me to panic just a little bit until little Johnny (or whatever his name was behind me) started kicking my seat. His constant kicking disturbed me until I realized that it was just his way of trying to get my attention so he could voluteer his air mask. At that point, I relaxed, leaned back a bit and smiled - when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
