How many members of your sign does it take to change a light
bulb?
ARIES:
Just one. You want to make something of it?
TAURUS:
One, but just try to convince them that the burned-out bulb is
useless and should be thrown away.
GEMINI:
Two, but the job never gets done-they just keep discussing who
is supposed to do it and how it's supposed to be done!
CANCER:
Just one. But it takes a therapist three years to help them through
the grieving process.
LEO:
Leos don't change light bulbs, although sometimes their agent
will get a Virgo in to do the job for them while they're out.
VIRGO:
Approximately 1.000000 with an error of +/- 1 millionth.
LIBRA:
Er, two. Or maybe one. No, on second thought, make that two. Is
that OK with you?
SCORPIO:
That information is strictly secret and shared only with the Enlightened
Ones in the Star Chamber of the Ancient Hierarchical Order.
SAGITTARIUS:
The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives
ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out
light bulb?
CAPRICORN:
I don't waste my time with these childish charts.
AQUARIUS:
Well, you have to remember that everything is energy, so....
PISCES:
Light bulb? What light bulb?
Flying the Friendly Skies
Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make the "in-flight
safety lecture" and their other announcements a bit more entertaining.
Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:
On a Southwest Airlines flight (no meals), the stewardess was
announcing their beverage service and said: "As soon as we reach
our cruising altitude, we will begin our beverage service... and
for breakfast today we have steak and eggs, cleverly disguised
as peanuts!"
"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only
4 ways out of this airplane..."
"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation, 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
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."
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."
As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National,
a lone voice comes over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella...WHOA..!"
"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 acting like children."
"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."
And 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 on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in
Salt Lake City: The flight attendant came on the intercom and
said, "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 seat belts 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."
After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis,
a flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced: "Please take
care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing
like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."
From a Southwest Airlines employee.... "Welcome aboard Southwest
Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal
tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every
other seat belt, 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 drop 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."
"The 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."
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 silent, we'll open the door
and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal."
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."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We are sorry
it is taking a little extra time to pull away from the gate. The
machine that rips the handles off your luggage is broken so we
have to do it manually."
"If the cabin should lose pressure, don't panic; a margarine tub
will fall out of the ceiling on a string. Place one over your
face, nose to the butter, then assist your children with theirs.
If the person beside you is acting like your children, wait until
he passes out, then put his on."
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 ask 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?"
"MOM'S HELPERS"
A minister was asked to dinner by one of his church members. He
knew she was a bad housekeeper but agreed. When he sat down at
the table, he noticed that the dishes were the dirtiest that he
had ever seen in his life. "Were these dishes ever washed?" he
asked his hostess, running his fingers over the grit and grime.
She replied, "They're as clean as soap and water could get them."
He felt a bit uncomfortable, but blessed the food anyway and started
eating.
It was really delicious and he said so, despite the dirty dishes.
When
dinner was over, the hostess took the dishes outside and yelled,
"Here Soap! Here Water!"
Accident on the Interstate
Her car breaks down on the Interstate one day, so the blonde driver
eases it over onto the shoulder. She carefully steps out of the
car and opens the trunk. Out jump two men in trench coats, who
stand at the rear of the vehicle where they face oncoming traffic
and begin opening their coats and exposing themselves to approaching
drivers. Not surprisingly, one of the worst pileups in history
of this highway occurs It's not very long before a police car
shows up. The cop, clearly
enraged, runs toward the driver of the disabled vehicle yelling,
"What the hell is going on here?"
"My car broke down," says the blonde, calmly.
"Well, what are these perverts doing here by the road?" screams
the cop.
"Those are my emergency flashers!" replied the blonde.
