Lamest PA phrases

I JUST got this in an email while reading this thread....must be karma!


As the airliner pushed back from the gate, the flight attendant gave the passengers the usual information regarding seat belts, etc. Finally, she said, "Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to your destination."

Ed sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, "Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman?"

When the attendants came by with the drink cart, he said, "Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?"

"Yes," said the attendant, "In fact, this entire crew is female."

"My God," said Ed, "I'd better have two scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think of all those women up there in the cockpit."

"That's another thing sir," said the attendant, "We no longer call it the cock pit. Now it's the box office"


I think we solved the problem of what it's called!

"Yes," said the attendant, "In fact, this entire crew is female."~Fly~

So now of course the question must be asked: When one has to get up and use the lav, who's going to be flying the plane..........?

When one has to get up and use the lav, who's going to be flying the plane?

I had to think about that for a second.

Then I got it.

LMAO!

"This one time...at band camp."

That actually does remind me of my time as Drum Major...God help you if one girl had to go to the bathroom. You'd lose the whole flute section!

cockpit vs. flight deck

Anybody listen to loveline? Adam was ranting about PC job terms, but he was actually in favor of flightdeck: "Sounds like good looking NASA guys with coffee mugs making important decisions. Cockpit just sounds like a gay bar..."

"But don't give me this server BS! You're a waitress goddammit!"


Where does cockpit come from anyway, shipping?

The British came up with it.

Early airplanes had lots of valves (cocks in British) for fuel lines, etc.

So the pilot was up there cranking the cocks.
