It was a railway station, not an airport and it was two men but clearly the same story. I suspect therefore that everyone else was copying that one (unless someone has an earlier reference than 1984).

He was speaking about his own life .. yet that story was so captivating I remember it and have told it to others ...and that show was in 1993. The show had a long run here in S.F. yet did not do well on Broadway, as I recall. I thought it was original, smart, funny and poignant. He moved to Petaluma, launched a second show, was going to have a TV show, got divorced... and disappeared from the performance world it seems.

Noticed the exact instance with a pack of potato chips while sitting on a boat, in that movie. A good story - about controlling oneself.
