Shortly after an American Airlines flight reached cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement:
“Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain. Welcome to Flight 293, non-stop from Los Angeles to New York. The weather ahead is good, so we should have a smooth, uneventful flight. So, sit back and relax;
OH, MY GOD!”
The cabin went silent. Passengers froze in their seats.
A few moments later, the captain came back on the intercom, sounding flustered but calm:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m so sorry if I scared you. While I was talking, a flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!”
Before anyone could fully recover from the shock, an elderly passenger shouted from the back:
“For heaven’s sake man, you should see the back of mine!”
