The Final Straw

We were just turning into the alleyway enroute to our gate.  Our Captain observed a whole bunch of Western Airlines baggage carts cluttering up the entrance to the alley.  This was a regular occurrence, but I guess my Captain had had enough.  He says: “Watch this.” He cocks the tail towards the offending carts and runs the power way up.  After a moment he turns the aircraft back towards our gate, and I can see the carts still rolling.  It was hilarious, but the phone was ringing for us but the time we got to Ops.  The Chief Pilot took a dim view.
