Airline P.A. Things You Don't Want to Overhear Over an Airline P.A. System * Ocean crossing flight: This is your Captain speaking, I just wanted to take this time to remind you that your seat cushions can be used as floatation devices... * Hey folks, were going to play a little game of geography trivia. If you can recognize where we are, tell your flight attendant and receive an extra pack of peanuts. * Our loss of altitude allows a unique close up perspective of the local terrain. I assure you that it's all part of our airlines new commitment to make your a flight a sight seeing extravaganza. * Goose! Bogey at 2 o'clock....one on our tail!!!! Eject!!!! Eject!!!!!!! * ummmmmm....Sorry......(silence) * (As the plane turns around right after takeoff)....uhhhhh....we have to go back....we..we....uhhhhhh....forgot something..... * I'm sure everyones noticed the loss of an engine, however the reduction in weight and drag will mean we'll be flying much more efficiently now. (ironic note: this is actually true for prop aircraft!) * Fasten your seatbelt. (same tone your friend with the suicidal driving tendencies uses when you get in the car) * This is your Captain speaking....these damn planes are a lot different than the ships I'm used to..so you'll have to give me some leeway...... * It would be a good idea if right now everyone closed their shades and watched the inflight movie. * We've now reached our cruising altitude of 20,000 feet and Oh shit.. * Don't worry that one is always on E... * Get the parachutes ready... * Drinks are on me...or I'll have what the Captain's having... * Hey capt'n take another hit man... * Hey why don't you tell the new Stewardess she can come sit on my lap and fly the plane...
