Humorous
Airline Announcements
- "Welcome
onboard this flight to Sydney on this lovely Valentine’s
Day. To help me with our pre-flight announcement today I
have, at the front of the plane, ‘Shy Girl’, in the
middle, ‘Fancy Pants’, and, down the back, we have
‘Red Hot Lover’."
- "We will be
dimming the cabin lights for take-off. For those of you
who want to continue reading, you will notice above your
head are two buttons; one with a light symbol and the
other with an attendant symbol. Pressing the first one
will turn on your reading light. Unfortunately, pressing
the other one will not turn on the flight
attendant."
- "Smoke
detectors have been fitted to the toilets and anyone
caught smoking in the toilets will be asked to step
outside to finish it."
- "Welcome to
Brisbane. Please stay seated until the captain turns off
the seat belt sign. Anyone who stands up before then
will be asked to stay behind and help us clean the
aircraft."
- From a Southwest
Airlines employee.... "There may be 50 ways to
leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this
airplane..."
- 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 till we land...it's a bit cold outside, and if
you walk on the wings it affects the flight
pattern."
- 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."
- As the plane landed
and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone
voice comes over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella.
WHOA!"
- From a Southwest
Airlines employee.... "Welcome aboard Southwest
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 your mask before assisting with theirs. If you
are traveling with two small children, decide now which
one you love more.
- "Weather at
our destination is 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."
- "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."
- Once on a Southwest
flight, the pilot said: We've reached our cruising
altitude now, and I'm turning off the seat belt sign.
I'm switching to autopilot, too, so I can come back
there and visit with all of you for the rest of the
flight."
- 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..."
- Heard from the
flight attendant on Southwest Airlines just after a very
hard landing in Salt Lake City: "That was quite a
bump and I know what ya'll are thinking. I'm here to
tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the
pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendants' fault.
It was the asphalt!"
- Overheard on an
American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a
particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final
approach, the Captain was really having to fight it
After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant
came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and
Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your
seats with your seatbelts fastened while the Captain
taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"
- Another flight
Attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing:
"We ask you to please remain seated as Captain
Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
- An airline pilot
wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his
ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a
policy which required the first officer to stand at the
door while the passengers exited, 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
the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would
have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off
except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She
said, "Sonny, mind if I as 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?"
- 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."
- "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."
- 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 till
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."
- As we waited just
off the runway for another airliner to cross in front of
us, some of the passengers were beginning to retrieve
luggage from the overhead bins. The head attendant
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."
- Part of a Flight
Attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to
thank you folks 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."

Motor
Vehicle Accident Excuses (An oldie - but they still
raise a chuckle)
These are REAL
statements made by REAL people on insurance forms.
They are better than any jokes. The following quotes
were taken from these insurance forms and were
eventually published in the Toronto Sun. July 26,
1977.
Coming home, I
drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I
don't have.
The other car collided with mine without giving
warning of it's intentions.
I thought my window was down. but found out it was up
when I put my hand through it.
I collided with a stationary truck coming the other
way.
A truck backed into my windshield into my wife's face.
A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a
number of times before I hit him.
I pulled from the side of the road, glanced at my
mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.
In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone
pole.
I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my
way home. As I reached the intersection, a hedge
sprang up obscuring my vision. I did not see the other
car.
I had been driving my car for forty years when I fell
asleep at the wheel and had a accident.
I was on my way to the doctors office with rear-end
trouble when my universal joint gave.
As I approached the intersection a stop sign suddenly
appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever
appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid
the accident.
My car was legally parked as it backed into the other
vehicle.
An invisible car came out nowhere, struck my vehicle
and vanished.
I told the police that I was not injured, but on
removing my hat, found that I had a skull fracture.
The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I
ran him over.
The indirect cause of this accident was a little guy
in a small car with a big mouth.
I was thrown from the car as it left the road. I was
later found in a ditch by some stray cows.
The telephone pole was approaching fast, I was
attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my
front end.
I was unable to stop in time and my car crashed into
the vehicle. The driver and the passenger then left
immediately for vacation with injuries.
I saw the slow moving, sad faced, old gentlemen as he
bounced off the hood of my car.

If
cars were like computers
At a recent
computer exposition, Bill Gates reportedly compared the
computer industry with the auto industry and stated:
"If General Motors had kept up with the technology
like the computer industry has, we would all be driving
$25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to
Bill's comments, GM issued a press release stating:
"If General Motors had developed technology like
Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the
following characteristics:
- For no reason
whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
- Every time they
repainted the lines in the road, you would have to
buy a new car.
- Occasionally
your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You
would have to pull over to the side of the road,
close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart
it, and reopen the windows before you could
continue. For some reason, you would simply accept
this.
- Occasionally,
executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause
your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in
which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
- Macintosh would
make a car that was powered by the sun, was
reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to
drive -- but would run on only five percent of the
roads.
- The oil, water
temperature, and alternator warning lights would all
be replaced by a single "General Protection
Fault" warning light.
- The airbag
system would ask "Are you sure?" before
deploying.
- Occasionally,
for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you
out and refuse to let you in until you
simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the
key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
- Every time GM
introduced a new car, car buyers would have to learn
to drive all over again because none of the controls
would operate in the same manner as the old car.
- You'd have to
press the "Start" button to turn the
engine off.

Puns
Mahatma
Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which
produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate
very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet,
he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super callused
fragile mystic plagued with halitosis.
There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. He sent
in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns
would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
Two vultures board an airplane, each carrying two dead raccoons.
The stewardess looks at them and says, "I'm sorry,
gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger."
Did you hear that NASA recently put a bunch of Holsteins into
low earth orbit? They called it the "herd shot 'round the
world".
Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to
Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in
the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one,
naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils.
Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they lit a
fire in the craft, it sank - proving once again that you can't
have your kayak and heat it, too.
Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a
root canal? He wanted to transcend dental medication.
A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them
goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Amal." The
other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan."
Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth
mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that
she wishes she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds,
"They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."
These monks were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened
up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to
buy flowers from the monks the florist felt it was unfair. He
asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He
went back and begged the friars to close.
They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh Mactagart,
the roughest, toughest, vicious thug in town to
"persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the monks and
trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up
shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that: ...Hugh, and
only Hugh, can prevent Florist Friars.

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a
hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament

boasting in an open foyer."

A
great joke to lead into a toast...
Eight year old Tessa went
to a family wedding with her Grandmother as her parents had a previous
engagement and could not attend. After the big event, Tessa’s mother,
Betty, was keen to find out how things went.
"How was the
wedding, dear?" asked Betty.
"It was great fun,
Mum. I had a great time. Mum, what’s fornication?"
Taken aback, Tessa’s
mother tried to change the subject.
"Tell me, darling,
were there many people you knew there?"
"O, yes – heaps!
There was Uncle Jim and Aunt Gloria and Katie and Gordon and lots of
others but I can’t remember their names. Mum, what’s
fornication?"
Still trying to change
the subject, she asked, "Was there lots of food there?"
"Yes, Mum, there
were cakes and ice cream and lollies for the kids – Mum, what’s
fornication?"
Finally, she decided that
she could not ignore this any longer, so she asked, "Where did you
hear that word, Tessa?"
"At the wedding.
Uncle Jim said –‘fornication (for an occasion) like this we need
champagne’."

I’ve lost my appetite a bit."

Bert, "How about I start cooking us some dinner, dear?"
"Not for me," says Bert "Just don’t seem to have much
of an appetite since I started this Viagra."
"That’s fine"
says Doris, "But I’m bloody starving – so will you get off
me?!"

The Catholics
will understand...
Michael goes to confession and says
to the priest, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I have to
confess to having had sexual relations with a girl from our
parish."
"Tell me the name of the girl – was it Betty Regan?" asks
Father Kelly.
"I am sorry, Father," said Michael "I cannot tell you the
name of the girl."
"My son, this is a very serious sin to which you have confessed.
Tell me, the girl, was it Suzy Howard?"
"I’m sorry, Father, I cannot say" said Michael.
"Unless you tell me the name of the girl, I’m going to have to
impose a very heavy penance on you; now, tell me, was it Tracey
Parton?"
"I cannot say, Father," said Michael.
"In that case," said Father Kelly, "I absolve you of your
sins and for your penance, you will say one hundred Our Fathers, two
hundred Hail Marys and three hundred Glory be to the Fathers."
Once out of the confessional, Michael is asked by his best friend how he
fared.
"Not bad," said Michael, "I got one hundred Our Fathers,
two hundred Hail Marys, three hundred Glory be to the Fathers...and
three of the best leads I’ve ever had!

This joke's on
the nose...
On a visit to the doctor Mary says "I
have this little problem that’s been bothering me. It’s a little
embarrassing to talk about. You see, I can’t stop breaking wind –
continuously! It’s happened several times since I’ve arrived in your
surgery. Nobody would know because they’re completely odorless and
silent, but I still want to stop it!"
The doctor gives her a prescription and asks her to call back in a week.
When she does, she’s most upset. "You haven’t helped the
problem at all – you’ve made it worse! I’m still farting as much
but now they smell terrible!"
"Good" says the doctor, "now that we’ve fixed your
sense of smell, we can start on your hearing."

Absent-minded
driver
As a senior citizen was
driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his
wife’s voice urgently warning him, Herman, I just heard on the news
that there’s a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be careful!
Hell, said Herman, It’s not just one car. It’s hundreds of them!

A poor shepherd in a third-world country was herding his flock in a remote pasture when
suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of the dust cloud towards him. The
driver, a young man from Manhattan, in a Armani suit, Gucci
shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and Hermes tie, leaned out the window and
asked the shepherd, "If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have
in your flock, will you give me one?"
The shepherd looked at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looked at his
peacefully grazing flock and calmly answered, "Sure."
The yuppie parked his car, whipped out his notebook and connected it to
a mobile phone, then he surfed to a NASA page on the internet where he
called up a GPS satellite navigation system, scanned the area, and then
opened up a database and an Excel spreadsheet with complex formulas. He
sent an email on his IMac and, after a few minutes, received a response.
Finally, he prints out a 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized
colour printer then turns to the shepherd and says, "You have
exactly 1586 sheep."
"That is correct; take one of the sheep." said the shepherd.
He watched the young man select one of the animals and bundle it into
his car.
Then the shepherd says: " If I can tell you exactly what your
business is, will you give me back my sheep?"
"OK, why not." answered the young man.
"Clearly, you are a consultant." said the shepherd.
"That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess
that?"
"No
guessing required." answers the shepherd. "You turned up here
although nobody called you. You want to get paid for an answer I already
knew, to a question I never asked, and you know stuff-all about my
business. Now give me back my dog."

A man and a woman were
sitting beside each other in the first class section of a plane. The
woman sneezed, took out a tissue, gently wiped her nose and then
shuddered quite violently for 10 or 15 seconds. The man went back
to his reading. A few minutes later, the woman sneezed again, took
a
tissue, gently wiped her nose and shuddered quite violently as
before. The man was becoming more and
more curious about the shuddering. A few more minutes passed
and the woman sneezed one more time. Again she took a tissue, gently
wiped her nose and shuddered violently. The man couldn't restrain his
curiosity. He turned to the woman and said, "You've sneezed
three times, wiped your nose with a tissue, then shuddered violently!
Are you all right?" "I'm sorry if I disturbed you," the
woman replied, "I have a rare condition; when I sneeze, I have an
orgasm." The man was a little embarrassed but even more curious and
said, "I've never heard of that before. What are you taking for
it?" The woman looked at him and said, "Pepper."
