Guilty face?

As I boarded my flight from Atlanta back to SFO, I noticed I my seat was at the bulkhead. I knew my seat was in the emergency exit row, but the bulkhead? Is this good? Let's see, I can't stetch out my legs all the way and my seat won't recline. What the... Oh, well.

The flight attendants make their rounds as they prepare the cabin for take-off.

"Sir, are you familiar with how to operate the emergency exit on the plane?," I'm asked.

"Uh, yeah," I say.

"Show me how to open it," she instructs.

"Um, you pull off this cover, hold here and pull in," I say, improvising.

"Good," she says. "And the exit ramp will automatically inflate when you open the door."

After the flight attendant leaves, the guy next to me starts laughing. "I can't belive she called you on it!"
