Humorous Airline Announcements

  1. "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’."
  2. "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."
  3. "Smoke detectors have been fitted to the toilets and anyone caught smoking in the toilets will be asked to step outside to finish it."
  4. "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."
  5. From a Southwest Airlines employee.... "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane..."
  6. 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."
  7. 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."
  8. As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice comes over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"
  9. 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.
  10. "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."
  11. "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."
  12. 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."
  13. 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..."
  14. 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!"
  15. 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!"
  16. 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."
  17. 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?"
  18. 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."
  19. "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."
  20. "Smoking in the lavatories is prohibited. Any person caught smoking in the lavatories will be asked to leave the plane immediately."
  21. 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."
  22. 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."
  23. 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."
  24. 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)

The telephone pole was approaching fast, I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end.

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:

  1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
  2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "General Protection Fault" warning light.
  7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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 three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts 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’."

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!

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."

Would you like pepper with that?
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."
