    Memorable airline safety announcement

    I don't know if this is true, but it's clever...

    Memorable Airline Safety Announcement

    Before takeoff:

    "Hello and welcome to Alaska Flight 438 to San Francisco. If you're going to San Francisco, you're in the right place. If you're not going to San Francisco, you're about to have a really long evening."

    "We'd like to tell you now about some important safety features of this aircraft."

    "The most important safety feature we have aboard this plane is ... the flight attendants. Please look at one now."

    "There are five exits aboard this plane: two at the front, two over the wings, and one out the plane's rear end. If you're seated in one of the exit rows, please do not store your bags by your feet. That would be a really bad idea. Please take a moment and look around and find the nearest exit. Count the rows of seats between you and the exit. In the event that the need arises to find one, trust me, you'll be glad you did. (This is excellent advice, and something I always do.) We have pretty blinking lights on the floor that will blink in the direction of the exits. White ones along the normal rows, and pretty red ones at the exit rows."

    "In the event of a loss of cabin pressure, these baggy things will drop down over your head. You stick it over your nose and mouth like the flight attendant is doing now. The bag won't inflate, but there's oxygen there. I promise."

    "If you are sitting next to a small child, or someone who is acting like a small child, please do us all a favor and put on your mask first. If you are traveling with two or more children, please take a moment now to decide which one is your favorite. Help that one first, and then work your way down."

    "In the seat pocket in front of you is a pamphlet about the safety features of this plane. I usually use it as a fan when I'm having my own personal summer. It makes a very good fan. It also has pretty pictures. Please take it out and play with it now."

    "Please take a moment now to make sure your seat belts are fastened low and tight about your waist. To fasten the belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle. To release, it's a pulley thing -- not a pushy thing like your car because you're in an airplane -- HELLO!!"

    "There is no smoking in the cabin on this flight. There is also no smoking in the lavatories. If we see smoke coming from the lavatories, we will assume you are on fire and put you out. This is a free service we provide. There are two smoking sections on this flight, one outside each wing exit. We do have a movie in the smoking sections tonight... ...hold on, let me check what it is ... Oh here it is; the movie tonight is "Gone with the Wind." "

    "In a moment we will be turning off the cabin lights, and it's going to get really dark, really fast. If you're afraid of the dark, now would be a good time to reach up and press the yellow button. The yellow button turns on your reading light. Please don't press the orange button unless you absolutely have to. The orange button is your seat ejection button."

    "We're glad to have you with us on board this flight. Thank you for choosing Alaska Air and giving us your business and your money. If there's anything we can do to make you more comfortable, please don't hesitate to ask."

    "If you all weren't strapped down, you would have given me a standing ovation, wouldn't you?"

    After landing:
    "Welcome to the San Francisco International Airport. Sorry about the bumpy landing. It's not the captain's fault. It's not the copilot's fault. It's the Asphalt."

    "Please remain seated until the plane is parked at the gate. At no time in history has a passenger beaten a plane to the gate. So please don't even try."

    "Please be careful opening the overhead bins because "shift happens." "
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Funny I like it. I've thought about doing this one last time I flew.

    WestJet has a few characters working on their flights - ON PURPOSE. Quite the thing for a friend of mine who had never flown WestJet before...LOL

    Oh - they used the 'favourite kid' one. At least it makes people listen to the safety instructions!

    Thats pretty much how I give instruction in my puppy classes. Believe me, people listen and pay attention because they have no idea what you're going to say next. \

    I had a memorable flight with Southwest once time because of a flight attendant with a sense of humor like that. She kept us all entertained the whole trip, a regular one woman comedy act.. She was a hoot and I asked her if I could give her a hug when I was getting off.... she got lots of hugs from everybody. We LOVED her!!! Not one minute of that flight was boring.

    A WestJet attendant had us all going before the aircraft started taxiing...she sweetly told us that the pilot happened to be her husband. As we all started our "Awwwwws" she told us the co-pilot was her ex-husband. We just cracked up!

    Wow, it's such a treat to meet people like that in your lifetime. They
    can make your day a whole lot brighter. I'd have hugged her too.

    Gee, I'd love to have a flight attendent like that. I always seem to get the cranky ones.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
