He made me laugh. Right out loud. The kind of laugh you let out when somebody tells you a joke that sounds familiar, but with a surprising punch line. Perhaps it's because I too have wanted to correct a total stranger's crossword while waiting for a flight in some foreign airport. Or maybe it's just that the guy is that good. Whatever the reason, the feeling it left me with was quite welcome.
