Well....... at least I thought it was funny. :P

 

We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

Very witty, the title reminds me of one time when I was jump-seating in uniform and the CC asked if I would like to do the safety demo. Jumping at this chance, and with the Purser standing beside me, ready to jump in if I miss anything, I carry off on my little speech until I declare "In the Likely event we need to evacuate, exits are located....", realising just as I was saying it that it wasn't the right word, immediately everyone, or close to it, stares up at me, Eeek. :Doh:

 

On the plus side though, it turns out that most people actually do listen to the safety demo, so that's one plus right? :good:

Funny video, Devon, and funny anecdote, Ró.

 

Speaking of safety demos ... when I travel, I always watch the flight attendants (or the video) and listen to the demos--although I could probably recite it by heart. I wonder how many people do, though; lots of people talk and read while the flight attendants are speaking.

 

Probably a topic for another thread, but another thing I do is count seatbacks to the emergency exits as I walk toward my seat ...

Joel Murray @ CYVR (actually, somewhere about halfway between CYNJ and CZBB) 

"In the unlikely event that our flight should become a cruise, seat cushions may be used for flotation."

 

I heard that one on a Southwest flight one day.

College Humour should do sketches like those more often as I find them really funny. There are some videos on YouTube of real world cabin crew making funny safety announcements but unfortunately i never seem to get any on an actual flight.
