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."
"Last one off the
plane must clean it."
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!"
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 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 silenced, 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."

Entertaining Annoucements
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:
"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane..."
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."
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."

Fancy Cocktail.... anyone?
We were just talking about drinks in the galley & someone mentioned when she was in London a few days ago, there was a teenager who supposely had her stomache removed because she had drank a liquid nitrogen cocktail! WHAT?????? we all go.... serious????
Goodness.... I had that before, not in Spore, but in a joint in the States. I enjoy it, not because it taste so good, but it looks beautiful. It's different from your normal cocktail- boring!!!! You go to a club, you sit at the bar , you see a good looking bar tender shake & blend the drink, with swirls of white vapour evaporating from it... the whole preparation is like a display ,a total feast on the eyes! cant believe it's dangerous. Hmm... for that matter, none of us had seen it in Spore before. Probably banned or something hahha..... Liquid Nitrogen is usually used in food packaging.
Our chief joined in & told us it's relatively safe BUT the person who serves it must wait till it's completely evaporated before serving, so that noone will consume it directly...as if you do, it'll literally freeze the stomach! That's probably what happened to the English girl... poor thing! Can you imagine us serving it on board?... hahhaha....

Rules of the Airways....lol.....
RULES OF THE
AIRWAYS
Takeoff's are optional. Landings are mandatory.
Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.
Speed is life, altitude is life insurance. No one has ever collided with the sky.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man. Landing is the first!
Everyone knows a 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. But a 'great landing is one after which you can use the airplane again.
The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival.
Was that a landing or were we shot down?
Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.
Trust your captain.... but keep your seat belt securely fastened.
Be nice to your first officer, he may be your captain at your next airline.
Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwind.
A pilot is a confused soul who talks about women when he's flying, and about flying when he's with a woman.
Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your takeoffs.
There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold, pilots!
Gravity never loses! The best you can hope for is a draw!
Gravity SUCKS!!

Getting ready for Universal studio LA
Flying to LA soon, & planning to visit Universal studios there. But I've got a problem! Flying no problem for me, but strangely, theme park rides makes me sick!
The company dr had very patiently tell me, our sense of balance is a combination of eyes, inner ear 7 body, so the trick is to fool the brain into thinking we're still on the ground! When we are on these rides, the brain sends signals- headache, sweating, nausea...meaning it doesnt like it. So decieve one of these motion detectors.
WHAT?????? How the hell do I do that? Easiest take a pill haha.... OR stretch one arm in front of you & grasp teh handrail with thumb extended. Then simply stare at your thumbnail during the ride. The body & inner ear will tell your brain that something's off, byt the eyes wont. This will help... Hmmm..... I've not tried it yet, but I guess I'll just go for the pill just in case I throw all over my own thumb or something!!!!...lol...
