A couple of useful comments to toss out when jumpseating in First:

2. "Have you heard the one about the difference between a bowling ball and a flight attendant?"
3. "Is it true all you guys are gay?"
4. "Hey! How come he got linen and I got his crappy paper towel?"
5. "You should interview with my company. We don't require weigh-in's either!"
6. "I'm not wearing underwear!"
7. "I bet you were cute 40 years ago."
8. "Sheesh! You sound like my third wife...she was a bossy flight attendant too!"
9. "How 'bout a bottle of the red for my layover?"
10. "Hey Toots! Put my bag in the overhead, 'kay?"
