Comedic flight attendant

On our flight back from Seattle we had a comedian of a flight attendant. His welcome speech went something like this (in a very serious voice): "Welcome aboard flight 877. Nonstop service from Seattle to Kona. There are four main exists, 2 located in the front and 2 located in the back. In case of an emergency water landing, flotation devices can be found under your seat. Pull the red tab and the safety vest will automatically inflate. Smoking is prohibited for the rest of your life." I can't remember the rest of the safety and regulations speech because we were all laughing!

It made me wonder just now if some airlines use these kinds of jokes often. I found some funny online stories of humorous flights:

1. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will fall from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting others. If you are traveling with two small children, please decide now which one you love more.

2. As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all your personal belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses.

3. Thank you for choosing Delta Airlines. We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately none of them are on this flight.

4. Current weather is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they will try to have them fixed before we arrive.

5. (after a really rough landing) Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted.

After our funny attendant, I hope we experience more comedic flights in the future!
