A mother and her son were flying " Southwest Airlines" from Kansas to Chicago. The son (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and said, " If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes? " The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the stewardess. So the boy asked the stewardess, " If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes? " The stewardess asked, " Did your mother tell you to ask me? " He said that his mother had. So the stewardess said, " Tell your mother that Southwest always pulls out on time. "

Passengers on a Lufthansa flight heard this announcement from the captain, " Ladies and Gentlemen, I am sorry to inform you that we have lost power to all of our engines and will shortly crash into the ocean. " The passengers were obviously very worried about this situation, but were somewhat comforted by the captain's next announcement. " Ladies and Gentlemen, we at Lufthansa have prepared for such an emergency, and we would now like you to rearrange your seating so that all the non- swimmers are on the left side of the plane, and all the swimmers are on the right side. " After this announcement, all the passengers rearranged their seating to comply with the captain's request. Two minutes later, the captain made a belly landing in the ocean. The captain once again made an announcement, " Ladies and Gentlemen we have crashed into the ocean.

It was a few days before Christmas. The trip went reasonably well, and he was ready to go back home. The airport on the other end had turned a tacky red and green, and loudspeakers blared annoying elevator renditions of cherished Christmas carols. Being someone who took Christmas very seriously, and being slightly tired, he was not in a particularly good mood. (Almost a scrooge) Going to check in his luggage (which, for some reason, had become one suitcase with entirely new clothes), he saw hanging mistletoe. Not real mistletoe, but very cheap plastic with red paint on some of the rounder parts and green paint on some of the flatter and pointer parts, that could be taken for mistletoe only in a very Picasso sort of way. With a considerable degree of irritation and nowhere else to vent it, he said to the attendant, " Even if we were married, I would not want to kiss you under such a ghastly mo ckery of mistletoe. " " Sir, look more closely at where the mistletoe is. " " Ok, I see that it's above the luggage scale which is the place you'd have to step forward for a kiss. " " That's not why it's there. " " Ok, I give up. Why is it there? " " It's there so you can kiss your luggage good- bye. "

" Michael Jackson's face lights up and he shouts, " YES, YES!! But do we have enough time? "

The German controllers at Frankfurt Airport were often short- tempered. They not only expected you to know your parking location but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (PanAm 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground and a British Airways 747 (radio call Speedbird 206) after landing. Speedbird 206: " Good morning Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of the active. " Ground: " Guten morgan, taxi to your gate. " The British Airways 747 pulls onto the main taxiway and stops. Ground: " Speedbird, do you not know where you are going? " Speedbird 206: " Stand by, ground, I'm looking up the gate location now. " Ground (with typical German impatience): " Speedbird 206, have you never flown to Frankfurt before? " Speedbird 206 (coolly): " Yes, in 1944. But I didn't stop. "

Flight fifty has a pretty rough time above the ocean. Suddenly a voice comes over the intercom: " Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts and assume crash positions. We have lost our engines and we are trying to put this baby as gentle as possible down on the water". " Oh stewardess! Are there any sharks in the ocean below? " asks a little old lady, terrified. " Yes, I'm afraid there are some. But not to worry, we have a special gel in the bottle next to your chair designed especially for emergencies like this. Just rub the gel onto your arms and legs". " And if I do this, the sharks won't eat me any more? " asks the little lady. " Oh, they will eat you all right, only they won't enjoy it so much".

" Hello flight 56, if you hear me rock your wings.. " " OK TOWER, IF YOU HEAR ME ROCK THE TOWER!! "

An airplane was losing altitude over the Rocky Mountains. The pilot over the intercom said that the entire luggage needed to be thrown overboard if they were to survive. After all the luggage was thrown the plane was still going down so they asked for volunteers. A man from Paris went to the door and said, " Viva la France. " Next a preacher went to the door and said, " Lord forgive me for what I must do.

Aunt Bessie loved to visit her nieces and nephews. However, she had relatives all over the country. The problem was that no matter how much she enjoyed seeing them, she hated flying. No matter how safe people told her it was, she was always worried that someone would have a bomb on the plane. She read books about how safe it was and listened to the stewardess demonstrate all the safety features. But she still worried herself silly every time a visit was coming up. Finally, the family decided that maybe if she saw the statistics she'd be convinced. So they sent her to a friend of the family who was an actuary. " Tell me, " she said suspiciously, " what are the chances that someone will have a bomb on a plane? " The actuary looked through his tables and said, " A very small chance. Maybe one in five hundred thousand. " She nodded, then thought for a moment. " So what are the o dds of two people having a bomb on the same plane? " Again he went through his tables. " Extremely remote, " he said. " About one in a billion. " Aunt Bessie nodded and left his office. And from that day on, every time she flew, she took a bomb with her.

Being the gentlemen they are they walk up to her and asked her why she was crying she said " A brick fell from the sky, land- ed on my dog, and now my dog is dead. " The men said they were very sorry to hear that and walked away. The next house they came across a little further down the road there was a man laughing his head off.

Pilot says: " 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. "

A military cargo plane, flying over a populated area, suddenly loses power and starts to nose down. The pilot tries to pull up, but with all their cargo, the plane is too heavy. So he yells to the soldiers in back to throw things out to make the plane lighter. They throw out a pistol. " Throw out more! " shouts the pilot. So they throw out a rifle. " More! " he cries again. They heave out a missile, and the pilot regains control. He pulls out of the dive and lands safely at an airport. They get into a jeep and drive off.

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.

On a flight with EasyJet back in 1997 the pilot made what can only be describes as an extremely heavy landing at Luton. It was very early in the morning and a number of passenger around me looked quite alarmed as, apart from the noise, a number of overhead lockers dropped open and several items of carry- on luggage were launched down the aisle. After slowing up, the aircraft turned off the runway and turned towards the stand and over the PA came " Good morning ladies gentlemen, this is Captain Smith, welcome to Luton…and if any of you were asleep…I bet you're not now! "

No flight ever leaves on time unless you are running late and need the delay to make the flight. If you are running late for a flight, it will depart from the farthest gate within the terminal. If you arrive very early for a flight, it inevitably will be delayed. Flights never leave from Gate # 1 at any terminal in the world. If you must work on your flight, you will experience turbulence as soon as you touch pen to paper. Or start to drink your coffee. If you are assigned a middle seat, you can determine who has the seats on the aisle and the window while you are still in the boarding area. Just look for the two largest passengers. Only passengers seated in window seats ever have to get up to go to the lavatory. The crying baby on board is always seated next to you. The best- looking woman/man on your flight is never seated next to you. The less carry- on luggag e space available on an aircraft, the more carry- on luggage passengers will bring aboard.

United Airlines FA: " Ladies and Gentlemen, as you are all now painfully aware, our Captain has landed in Seattle.

One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are seated, waiting for the cockpit crew to show up so they can get underway. The pilot and copilot finally appear in the rear of the plane, and begin walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle. Both appear to be blind. The pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle, and the copilot is using a guide dog. Both have their eyes covered with huge sunglasses. At first the passengers do not react; thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke. However, after a few minutes the engines start revving and the airplane starts moving down the runway. The passengers look at each other with some uneasiness, whispering among themselves and looking desperately to the stewardesses for reassurance. Then the airplane starts accelerating rapidly and people begin panicking. Some passengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices are becoming more and more hysterical. Finally, when the airplane has less than 20 feet of runway left, there is a sudden change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at once, and at the very last moment the airplane lifts off and is airborne. Up in the cockpit, the copilot breathes a sigh of relief and turns...

On reaching his plane seat a man is surprised to see a parrot strapped in next to him. He asks the stewardess for a coffee where upon the parrot squawks " And get me a whisky you cow! " The stewardess, flustered, brings back a whisky for the parrot and forgets the coffee. When this omission is pointed out to her the parrot drains its glass and bawls " And get me another whisky you idiot". Quite upset, the girl comes back shaking with another whisky but still no coffee. Unaccustomed to such slackness the man tries the parrot's approach " I've asked you twice for a coffee, go and get it now or I'll kick you". The next moment, both he and the parrot have been wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards. Plunging downwards the parrot turns to him and says " For someone who can't fly, you complain too much! "

I have a friend who is a pilot on a 747. I said " Hi Jack. " He shot me.
