Airline sacrifices goats to appease sky god

Nepal's state-run carrier makes offering after technical problems with 757

KATHMANDU - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.
Nepal Airlines, which has two Boeing aircraft, has had to suspend some services in recent weeks due to the problem.
The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.
"The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights," said Raju K.C., a senior airline official, without explaining what the problem had been.
Local media last week blamed the company's woes on an electrical fault. The carrier runs international flights to five cities in Asia.
It is common in Nepal to sacrifice animals like goats and buffaloes to appease different Hindu deities.

Maybe we should start sacrificing cows in the troublesome management offices.

Only if those cows came from any 121 scheduling department...

One of our captains claims he sacrifices cats to the weather gods. Says it works, too.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome aboard. As you've probably noticed, we've been parked on the taxiway at JFK for three hours now. Air Traffic Control has refused to allow us to depart because there's a thunderstorm somewhere around Raleigh, North Carolina. There might be a solution to our problem though."

"Does anyone have a small pet, or child, on board?"

Cats or virgins?

I ran over a skunk on the way to start my commute once...it didn't help anything but at least after four days in the parking garage when I got back the smell was wore out. Always wished I had video of people getting out of their cars that first day though!

Cats or virgins?...

Says he negotiated a deal for cats. Too hard to find virgins anymore. Maybe virgin cats?

Cats...how would you know???

If we sacrifice the cows, then who will serve drinks and blankets to our passengers?

And the carcasses go to the flight kitchen for crew meals afterwards.

Dang it TSA! They wouldn't let me bring my altar through security...nor my fatted calf.
