Travel Humor |
Back in the '70s, I had a called who was asking if I knew anything about a new "bus tour of the Caribbean?"
He was young and obviously an inexperienced traveler. I explained to him the geographic make-up of the Caribbean and how a bus tour would be pretty difficult. But he insisted he had seen the ad somewhere. The tour originated out of Miami.
This conversation went on for thirty minutes, and we appeared to be drifting father and farther apart.
Suddenly, the penny dropped, and I realized it wasn't a 'tour in the bus' he was trying to locate but rather a "tour in the buff" !
Here are some allegedly true examples of airline humor (although not necessarily from Southwest).
On a Continental Flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot
said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning
down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of
your flight attendants."
***************************
On landing, the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going
to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to
have."
*****************************
"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."
*****************************
"In the event of a sudden
loss of cabin pressure, 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 more than one small child, pick your
favorite."
***************************
Weather at our destination is 50
degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we
arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than
Southwest Airlines."
*******************************
"Should the cabin
lose pressure, oxygen masks are in the overhead area. Please place the bag over
your own mouth and nose before assisting children or other adults acting like
children."
**************************************
"As you exit the plane,
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: "Delta airlines is pleased to have some of the best flight
attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this
flight!"
******************************************
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
Airways."
**********************************************
A plane was
taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached comfortable cruising altitude,
the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this
is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from New York to
Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth
and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax... OH, MY GOD!" Silence followed,
and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies
and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to
you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap.
You should see the front of my pants! "A passenger in Coach yelled, "That's
nothing. You should see the back of mine."
**********************************************
An older woman traveling on an airplane for the first time asked
"Would you not have me sit by the window I just had my hair done and I do not want the wind
to mess it up.
