Lee's Funnies
Overheard on Airlines
"As we prepare for takeoff, please make sure your tray
tables and seat backs are fully upright in their most
uncomfortable position."
"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are
only four ways out of this airplane ..."
"Your seat cushions can be used for floatation, and in the
event of an emergency water landing, please take them with
our compliments."
"We do feature a smoking section on this flight; if you must
smoke, contact a member of the flight crew and we will
escort you to the wing of the airplane."
"Smoking in the lavatories is prohibited. Any person caught
smoking in the lavatories will be asked to leave the plane
immediately."
"Good morning. As we leave Dallas, it's warm, the sun is
shining, and the birds are singing. We are going to
Charlotte, where it's dark, windy and raining. Why in the
world y'all wanna go there I really don't know."
Pilot: "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, 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."
And, 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."
After waiting on a runway for another airliner to cross in
front, some of the passengers were beginning to retrieve
their luggage from the overhead bins. The head steward
announced on the intercom, "This aircraft is equipped with a
video surveillance system that monitors the cabin during
taxiing. Any passengers not remaining in their seats until
the aircraft comes to a full and complete stop at the gate
will be strip-searched as they leave the aircraft."
As a plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington
National, a lone voice comes over the loudspeaker: "Whoa,
big fella ... WHOA!"
Here are a few heard from Northwest: "Should the cabin lose
pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area.
Please place the bag over your own mouth and nose before
assisting children or adults acting like children."
"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 or spouses."
And 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."
