Shortly after reaching cruising altitude, the captain of a British Airways flight came over the intercom:
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome aboard Flight 293, nonstop from London Heathrow to New York. The weather looks great, so we’re expecting a smooth and pleasant journey. So sit back, relax, and… Oh my God!”
The cabin went dead silent. Not a sound.
A few moments later, the captain’s voice returned, calmer this time:
“Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to alarm you. While I was speaking, a flight attendant accidentally spilled hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my trousers!”
From the back of the plane, an Irish passenger shouted:
“For the love of Jaysus… you should see the back of mine!”
