A man is flying from Los Angeles to New York.
During the meal service, he
accidentally knocked the spoon off
to the aisle with his elbow. The
flight
attendant immediately
took a spoon from his pocket and placed it on his
tray table. The
man was very impressed by the promptness of the service
and
asked, "Do all flight attendants carry a spoon in their pockets?"
The
flight attendant answered, "We had an efficiency expert in to
evaluate
our operation. He determined that 25% of the customers knock
the spoon
off
their tray tables. By carrying a spare spoon, we
all save trips to the
galley and can be much more
efficient."
Later, as the flight attendant is picking his dirty tray up, the
customer
asked, "Excuse me for asking but why do you have a string
hanging from
your fly?"
The flight attendant replied, "The
efficiency expert determined that
we
were spending too much t
ime washing our hands after we went to the
bathroom. To counteract
this, we tie strings to our penises."
The customer looked
confused. "How does that help?" he asked.
"Well, when I go to the
bathroom I just use the string. Since I never
touched myself I don't
need to wash my hands."
The customer nodded and asked, "But how
do you get it back in your
pants?"
The flight attendant
smiled, "I don't know about the other guys, but
I use
the
spoon."

Southwest Airlines makes humor a high
priority. Here are some
actual humorous statements by airline flight
crews:
"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
can`t imagine."
"As we prepare for takeoff, please make
sure your tray tables and
seat backs are fully upright in their most
uncomfortable position."
"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 a seat
outside on the wing of the
airplane."
"Smoking in the lavatories is prohibited. Any person
caught smoking
in the lavatories will be asked to leave the p
lane immediately."
"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover,
but there are only 4
ways out of this airplane..."
"If you
are so lucky to be traveling with small children..."
Flight
attendant: 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."
"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 ac
ting like children."
Pilot: "We are pleased to have some of
the best flight attendants
in the industry...Unfortunately none of
them are on this flight...!
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."
At the end of a flight:
"Our flight attendants are now walking
through the aisles with
trash receptacles for any garbage you might
have
or anything else
that you might wanna give us!"
As the plane landed and was coming to
a stop at Washington
National, a lone voice comes over the
loudspeaker:
"Whoa, big fella...WHOA..!"
"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. Pl
ease do not leave children or spouses."
"Last one off the
plane must clean it."

A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport.
After it reached a 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.
Then, the captain came back
on the intercom and said,
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I
scared you earlier, but
while I was talking, the flight-attendant
brought me a cup of coffee and
spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You
should see the front of my pants!"
A passenger in Coach said,
"That's nothing. You should see the back
of mine!"

A young and foolish pilot wanted to sound cool
on the aviation frequencies.
This was his first time
approaching a field during the nighttime, and
instead of making any
official requests to the tower, he said, "Guess
who?"
The
controller switched the field lights off and replied, "Guess
where!"
