I was on a plane once. It was apparently during a big soccer match. The pilot came over the PA system and announced who won. Next thing I knew, the lady next to me leaned in and said, "now we know what the pilot's been doing instead of flying the plane...."
Do you know how pilots get a plane in flight to lean to one side, and then, seconds later, lean to the other side? They pretend to be driving a sightseeing bus full of tourists. "And on the left, a beautiful display of the Northern lights can be seen". And then on the right....well, nothing. Back to the left".
I was stretching in the aisle. Someone asked me what I was doing. I responded that it was my calisthenics hour...
I'm glad plane seats have TVs for entertainment. Sometimes it's not needed, though, especially if the person sitting in front of you is acting out a Jackie Chan fight scene in his sleep.
Forgot one. When the plane is backing out of its gate, my husband always likes to crack the following joke:"Think we should tell the pilot that he's going the wrong way?"
In my opinion, in flight meals have gotten better over the years. Every once in a while though, I still have the following conversation with my husband:
"What did you get?"
Well, it's supposed to be tortellini, but I have my doubts"
