I've had a few stewardess' ... er ... attendants that had a sense of humor. One young steward who saw three of us carrying four-packs of wine back from California (we were on a puddle jumper from St. Louis to Peoria), come on the PA and said that the plane needed to lighten the load and would the three guys with the wine pass the bottles around so we could get them emptied.
On a L-1011 ... also from Californing ... I was with a co-worker and the stewardess had served served us wine with complementary refills. Every time she passed us, she refilled the glasses. As we exited the aircraft, she was talking to another stewardess and she told her that we were her two "drinking companions."
Finally, a young stewardess on a puddle jumper to St. Louis got on the PA after we landed with a slightly modified standard speech. She said, "Thank you everyone for flying with us today. Please be sure to stay seated and leave your seat belts fastened until we come to a complete stop at the terminal." Of course many of us had undone our seat belts and even stood up to get things from the overhead. Then she added, "Anyone standing or unsecured will be shot." The plane went silent. I think everyone turned around and there, sitting at the back, was this stewardess with a huge grin on her face. I will say this, everyone sat down and stayed there until the plane came to a complete stop at the terminal. :grin:
I love people with a good sense of humor.
