Subject: Flight Giggles (the first of many funnies ;-))

Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight lecture and other announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some examples:

1. From a Southwest Airlines employee: There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane.

2. Pilot � Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane until we land � it�s a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern.

3. After landing � Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.

4. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop in Washington/National, a lone voice comes over the loudspeaker: �Whoa, big fella. WHOA!�

5. After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight attendant on NW flight announced, �Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything�s shifted!�

6. From a Southwest employee � �Welcome aboard SW Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt and if you don�t know how to operate one, you probably shouldn�t be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure the mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more.�

7. Weather at our destination s 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they�ll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you and remember: Nobody loves you or your money more than Southwest Airlines.

8. Your seat cushions can be used for floatation and in the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments.

9. As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children and spouses.

10. From the pilot during his welcome message: �We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight.�

11. Another flight attendant�s comment on a less than perfect landing: �We ask that you please remain seated as Capt. Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.�

12. An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline policy required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exit, smile, and give them a �Thanks for flying XYZ Airline.� He said that in light of his bad landing he had a hard time looking passengers in the eye thinking someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for the little old lady walking with a cane. She said, �Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?� �Why, no, ma�am�, said the pilot. �What is it?� The little old lady said, �Did we land or were we shot down?�

13. After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the flight attendant came on with, �Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt up against the gate. And once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we�ll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.�

14. Part of a flight attendant�s arrival announcement: �We�d like to thank you fools for flying with us today. And the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you�ll think of us here at US Airways!�
