God and Pilots
What's the difference between God and
pilots?
God doesn't think he is a pilot.
Engine noise
Taxiing down the tarmac, the jetliner
abruptly stopped, turned around and returned to the gate. After a hour-long
wait, it finally took off. A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant:
"What was the problem?"
"The pilot was bothered by a noise he
heard in the engine," explained the flight attendant," and it took us a
while to find a new pilot."
Luggage routing
A passenger piled his cases on the scale
at an airline counter in New York and said to the ticket agent:
"I'm flying to Los Angeles. I want the
square case to go to Denver and the two round ones to go to Seattle."
"I'm sorry, sir, but we can't do that,"
said the ticket agent.
"Why not? You did it the last time!"
Noise reduction
Air traffic controller:
"Flight 1234, for noise abatement turn
right 45 degrees."
Airline pilot: "But Center, we are at
35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"
Air Traffic controller: "Sir, have you
ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 737?"
Traveling Wives
One of the airlines recently introduced
a special half-fare rate for wives accompanying their husbands on business
trips. Anticipating some valuable testimonials, the publicity department
of the airline sent out letters to all the wives of businessmen who used
the special rates, asking how they enjoyed their trip.
Responses are still pouring in from angry
wives asking: "What trip?"
Fuel emergency
Cessna pilot: "Tower, Cessna 12345, student
pilot, I am out of fuel.
Tower: "Roger Cessna 12345, reduce airspeed
to best glide!
Do you have the airfield in sight?"
Cessna: "Uh...tower, I am on the south
ramp; I just want to know where the fuel truck is."
FAA Inspector
An FAA Inspector walked into a doctor's
office with a frog on his head.The doctor asked, "What can I do for you?"
And the frog said, "Take this wart off
my butt."
Archeological dating
A tourist is traveling with a guide through
one of the thickest jungles in Latin America, when he comes across an ancient
Mayan temple. The tourist is entranced by the temple, and asks the guide
for details. To this, the guide states that archaeologists are carrying
out excavations, and still finding great treasures. The tourist then queries
how old the temple is.
"This temple is 2503 years old", replies
the guide.
Impressed at this accurate dating, he inquires
as to how he gave this precise figure.
"Easy", replies the guide, "the archaeologists
said the temple was 2500 years old, and that was three years ago."
Aligators and flashlights
A tourist was being led through the swamps
of Florida. "Is it true," he asked, "that an alligator won't attack you
if you carry a flashlight?"
"That depends," replied the guide, "on
how fast you carry the flashlight."
No Exit
An airline captain was helping a new blonde
flight attendant prepare for her first overnight trip. Upon their arrival,
the captain showed the flight attendant the best place for airline personnel
to eat, shop and stay overnight.
The next morning as the pilot was preparing
the crew for the day's route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing.
He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up to ask what
happened to her.
She answered the phone, crying, and said,
"I can't get out of the room!"
"You can't get out of your room!?" the
captain asked. "Why not?"
She replied, "There are only three doors
in here," she sobbed, "one is the closet, one is the bathroom, and one
has a sign on it that says 'Do Not Disturb'!" |
