It was about 1968. I was third man in the cockpit on an Eastern Airlines Lockheed 1011 (2nd officer). David was pilot and Charles was 1st officer(copilot). Diana was a new (just graduated) stewardess (cabin attendant). It was an early morning flight from St. Louis to some East Coast city I can't recall, probably New York or Boston.
Once we were in the air, David picked up the public announcing handset and announced "Cabin attendant to the cockpit, please." Diana showed up and David said "The 1st officer is not feeling well, would you please bring us a sick bag."
She left, and returned with a bag. David said thank you, and she returned to the passenger cabin.
David took the bag and poured into it the contents of a can of Campbell's concentrated vegetable soup, which he had opened with the can opener on his pocket knife. A few minutes later, he again called for the cabin attendant.
Diana arrived, and he gave her the full bag and said "Please dispose of this." She took the bag and began to leave. She was a step or two out of the cockpit when David said "Wait a minute, bring that back."
She brought the bag back, and David took it, opened it and looked inside. Then he said " Boy, this looks pretty good" and dipped his hand into the bag, pulled out some of the contents and ate it.
Diana then barfed big time, but since she had not brought a bag for herself, she barfed all over David and Charles.
There is a moral here, but I don't know what it is.
