#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make the "in-flight safety lecture" a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:#ed_op#UL#ed_cl##ed_op#LI#ed_cl#"As we prepare for take off, please make sure your tray tables and seatbacks are fully upright in their most uncomfortable position." #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this air plane..." #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation, and in the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments." #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#"We do feature a smoking section on this flight; if you must smoke, contact a member of the flight crew and we will escort you to the wing of the air plane." #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice comes over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella...WHOA..!" #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#"Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area. Please, place the bag over your own mouth and nose before assisting children or adults acting like children." #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#"As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please, do not leave children or spouses." #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#"Last one off the plane must clean it." #ed_op#/LI#ed_cl##ed_op#/UL#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
I lift my margarita and drink a salute to Marty, Quarter Horse Extraordinaire, Most Pleasant Packer, Companion To The End. May his suffering be little, his passing be easy and may we find each other again, drawn by love and kindred spirit.
