Strangest thing I’ve ever seen at an airport?

I saw this at Colombo Airport (in Sri Lanka) earlier today. Yes, that’s a roped off seating area in the center of the terminal with puffy chairs and a sign that reads “reserved for clergy.”

Surely I’m missing something?

The strangest thing I ever saw at the aiport was 2 different high school cheerleading squads on a trip to some national cheerleading contest. I was actually on the plane with them -- I've got to say, that plane had more "pep" than any other I've been on since..

At least clergy status doesn't expire on Dec 31. More like lifetime Gold or Plat.

You will find this in almost every Thai airport too.

Ben, All you need to do to sit there is get ordained online and then you to will be clergy and get great perks like better parking at the hospital and be able to sit in the middle of the airport in fancy white chairs while traveling abroad! http://www.themonastery.org/
