330east

I'm sitting here weeping. It's like watching movies from my childhood. Or seeing an old friend from the past. This thread and the one about the "lost leg on the airplane".

nukesafe

could you find that "Lost Leg" thread and bring it back, 330? I've never seen it.

This thread was mentioned in the lounge, so I am topping it.

A wonderful classic thread that should be revived every so often for our newer members. Thanks, Dayenu!

Yes, a fun thread. I remember once there was a mohel aboard our flight who wanted to tip the pilot, but the pilot declined.

WoinParis

Loved it.

Being European I never tip but it brings other questions to me :

- last I flew the intercom wqs not disconnected and we heard the pilot say 'now this new flight attendee should already be there with my coffee and I'll have a good shag, where the heck is she ? '
The FA blushed and ran to the cock-pit when someone yelled 'hey, you forgot the coffee ! '

- when I enter a plane I ask the name of the pilot. Then I sit and turn to my neighbour and say 'oh gosh, I'm always stressed wiht this airline, they have a pilot called 'Alan Jones' who is a know alcoholic, and everyone is trying to get rid of im since he is such a lousy pilot.
Then you hear 'Captain Alan Jones and his crew welcomes you on board'... I did it once, the neighbour freaked out.

- I tip my neighbour if he/she didn't fart. And I tip more if he/she doesn't punch me when I snore or fart myself.

Well, Wo, I'm sure your snores and farts, being Belgian, are more entertaining than some of the seatmates I have encountered recently. I would still give an American sized tip to you if you would refrain from resting your sleeping head on my shoulder.

WoinParis

Can't wait to travel with you, Nuke !

As long as you don't drool as you snore, we will get along all right. Belgian drool turns me right off, I must tell you.

So many familiar faces from the 'olden days'

For another great, historic thread look for "Pray for the Leg".

I have used the search function for "Pray for the leg" without success. How about posting a link, 330 east?

Google the thread is easier than use Fodors search function.

Another hilarious oldie but goodie to check out...

Are the Vikings really bad in Scandinavia in September?
